World Day of Prayer service to be held March 3 at Bethlehem Lutheran Church, Lanesboro

Bethlehem Lutheran Church, Lanesboro, will hold a World Day of Prayer service on Friday, March 3, at 10 am.  World Day of Prayer is a worldwide ecumenical movement of Christian women of many traditions who come together to observe a common day of prayer each year on the first Friday in March. World Day of Prayer was founded on the idea that prayer and action are inseparable in the service of God’s kingdom. Services begin at sunrise in the Pacific and follow the sun across the globe on the day of celebration. Each year a different country’s committee serves as the writers of the World Day of Prayer worship service.  This year’s featured country is the Philippines.  Refreshments will be served following the worship service.  Everyone is welcome.
