World Day of Prayer

World Day of Prayer 2026

Our sisters in Nigeria invited us to join them for the World Day of Prayer on Friday 6 March 2026. The service they prepared reflected on the theme, "I will give you rest."

The World Day of Prayer is an international, women-led, ecumenical movement that shares the hopes, concerns, and prayers of women from around the globe. Each year, women from a different country craft a service, sharing their unique spiritual journey and culture. For 2026, the women of Nigeria created a service that spoke to our need for peace and solace, drawing on their faith and experiences in a world filled with struggles and anxieties.

This day is a powerful demonstration of global solidarity. It begins in Samoa and moves across the world in a continuous wave of prayer, finishing 38 hours later in American Samoa. It truly is a worldwide day of prayer!
