Service took place at the Mel Lloyd Centre where Laina Kingdon (seen front and centre in this photo at a United Church Women's luncheon) gave a presentation about prayer. “It is an awesome privilege,” said Laina, a member of Bethel Bible Chapel in Shelburne, “for us to be able, by our prayers to help people who are close to us as well as people on the other side of the world.” The motto for World Day of Prayer is “Informed Prayer and Prayerful Action” promoting the belief that prayer and action are indivisible. The theme this year, “Radical Love” was created by the women of the Bahamas to celebrate their faith, culture and islands as they led women across the world in prayer. Since its founding in 1922, a portion of offerings received at each World Day of Prayer Service go to local and global projects in need. Many area churches participate in the planning and presentation of the worship service including Bethel Bible Chapel, Trinity United Church, St. Paul's Anglican Church, St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Church, Grace Church of the Nazarene, Crossroads Church, and Abiding Place Ministries. Next year, Helen Redmond and Elisabeth Liekermoser from St. Patrick's Church will arrange the event to be held, once again, at the Mel Lloyd Center.
