A note from Frankie:
World Day of Prayer service for Bribie this year is on Friday 6th March, it will be held at the Uniting Church commencing at 2.00pm.
This function comes around really quickly, and we are looking to raise awareness in our congregation. The country that has prepared this year's service is Nigeria; it is an opportunity to learn about life in the featured country from the perspective of the Christian women of that country and to support them in prayer for their particular needs.
Our church will be hosting the service next year. Next year. This being the 100th anniversary of the formation of World Day of Prayer. It would be great if there were good support from our congregation. This hopefully will encourage more people to attend.
Frankie will be scouting for two readers for this year, which will make three in total. At present, she has no running mate and asks that anyone who would be interested in standing with her to learn the ropes, assist next year, and then take up the mantle as our representative for World Day of Prayer for St. Peter's after 2027.
