Kathryn Anderson will be talking about Women of Nigeria and the World Day of Prayer at 7:00pm on Monday 13 April in the Parish Room at Our Lady of Ransom Church, Grange Road, Eastbourne BN21 4EU.
For World Day of Prayer, 6 March 2026, the women of Nigeria created a service of worship that spoke to our need for peace and solace, drawing on their faith and experiences in a world filled with struggles and anxieties. They talked about their experiences of the burdens of poverty and despair, religious persecution and systemic oppression.
The World Day of Prayer is an annual powerful demonstration of global solidarity. It begins in Samoa and moves across the world in a continuous wave of prayer, finishing 38 hours later in American Samoa. Each year the women of a different country prepare the service. This year it was the women of Nigeria. It truly is a worldwide day of prayer!
Kathryn Anderson is Secretary of the Eastbourne World Day of Prayer committee. She will explain more about the WDP in general with a focus on the 2026 theme.
All are welcome!
