Women come together to worship
Before the celebrations, everyone was served a glass of water from a clay pot.
St Margaret’s Anglican Church in Margate celebrated Women’s World Day of Prayer (WWDP) with a special service last Friday.
Before the celebrations, everyone entering was served a glass of water from a clay pot.
To give a glass of water to a visitor is a welcoming gesture in most cultures in Zimbabwe. In most rural areas, water is stored in clay pots to keep it cool.
This year the resource material was compiled by the women of the World Day of Prayer Zimbabwe Committee.
The service included scripture reading and singing of hymns.
The WWDP is a worldwide ecumenical movement of Christian women, men and children of many traditions who come together observe a common day of prayer on the first Friday in March every year.
WWDP brings together people of various races, cultures and churches in fellowship and understanding.
