The 2025 WDP program invites 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.
An invitation to join us in discovering and hearing for yourself what the Bible has to tell us today.

The World Day of Prayer is a women led, global, ecumenical movement, which promotes prayerful living and worship for men, women and young people and helps raise awareness of the lives and concerns of others throughout the world, especially those who write the service. In Sandbach churches held two services as part of the Day of Prayer. The theme was from Ephesians 4: 1 – 6. “I beg you, bear with one another in love.”
As Christians we at SBC encourage you all to put your roots deep into God’s Word, the Bible.
