The World Day of Prayer is a global ecumenical movement led by Christian women who welcome all to join in prayer and action for peace and justice.
The World Day of Prayer 2026 will be held on Friday, March 6, 2026, with the theme "I Will Give You Rest: Come," prepared by Christian women in Nigeria, focusing on burdens like shame, oppression, and poverty, and finding rest in God's love and community. This global, ecumenical event features a continuous wave of prayer starting in Samoa and moving around the world, using services written by women from different countries each year.
The 2026 World Day of Prayer materials from Nigeria bring us a powerful invitation drawn from Matthew 11:28-30. At a time when people worldwide are carrying heavy burdens, our Nigerian sisters offer profound insights into finding rest in God.
Join Christians from the Petawawa Area for a service on Friday, March 6th at 2pm at St. George’s Protestant Chapel, Garrison Petawawa (9 Festubert Blvd, Petawawa).
