We were pleased to host this Churches Together annual event on 6th March. This year the service had been prepared by the Christian women of Nigeria on the theme of “I will give you rest, come” (Matthew 11:28 – 30). We joined a wave of prayer starting in Samoa and ending 46 countries later in American Samoa, all praying with and for the country and people of Nigeria. As ever the service was thought provoking and informative as we heard the struggles of 3 women who were dealing with daily prejudices and burdens of being marginalised as a widow, suffering religious persecution and the burden of insecurity. With music and artefacts from Nigeria and even some Nigerian biscuits we had a flavour of the country.  Thank you to everyone who came and participated in the event. £172 was collected for the World Day of Prayer movement.
