Worldwide COVID has affected many scheduled events, and the World Day of Prayer (WDP) is one of these. The service had been prepared by the women of Vanuatu and distributed for Friday 5 March. We were due to join our ecumenical friends at St Michael at the Northgate. Plans kept on changing.<\/p>\n

Instead, an online video is available for viewing any time. The WDP International Committee has put together a beautiful multinational service with the women of Vanuatu and<\/b> representatives from many countries. Hurriedly put together, it\u2019s totally from the heart and must have been a challenge especially for the women of Vanuatu. It lasts 35 minutes and I recommend it.<\/p>\n
