World Day of Prayer is a global ecumenical movement led by Christian women who welcome you to join in prayer and action for peace and justice. This year's theme “I Made You Wonderful,” based on Psalm 139:1-18 was prepared by WDP members from the Cook Islands, and invited us into the knowledge that each one of us was made with care and love by God. When we can receive this profound truth, everything in our life changes and we begin to radiate and shine from within. We also learn how to treat every other person as made wonderful by God.
Within Pentland Parish, this year's event was hosted by Olrig Church supported by volunteers from Dunnet, Keiss and Canisbay churches. Liz Buchan led us through the service format prepared by the ladies from the Cook Islands. As an added bonus, one of our Parish members, Issy Currie, dressed up in her traditional Maori costume and told of her time visiting the Cook Islands whilst teaching in New Zealand.
After the service a superb feast of home-made sandwiches, pancakes and cakes were served with tea and coffee. Certainly an event to remember!
