World Day of Prayer 2024

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.”
