WORLD DAY OF PRAYER

Glenkens Churches Guild in Galloway held a World Day of Prayer (WDP) service on Friday March 7 in Balmaclellan Church.

The service was arranged with St Margaret’s Episcopal Church in New Galloway, and was attended by members of both churches along with members of the Roman Catholic church and the Church of Scotland Guild. Resources for this year’s WDP were prepared by the women of the Cook Islands and based on Psalm 139:14: ‘I Made You Wonderful’.

Members of the Church of Scotland, Roman Catholic and Episcopal Churches led a World Day of Prayer Service at St Michael’s Parish Church, Edinburgh. £311 was raised for charities in and connected to the Cook Islands.
