World Day of Prayer is a global ecumenical movement led by Christian women
who welcome you to join in prayer and action for peace and justice.
The 2026 World Day of Prayer materials have been written by the women of Nigeria. They bring 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.
Through their exploration of different kinds of burdens – shame, systemic oppression, religious persecution, poverty and despair – the writers help us understand both the weight of human suffering and the depths of divine rest. Their work shows us that true rest isn’t just about physical relief, but about transformation through God’s grace and community support.
Our area Service on World Day of Prayer, 6th March 2026, will be held in Ballycrochan Presbyterian Church at 11am.
All are welcome to come along and join this service.
There will be tea and coffee served from 10.30am.
Everyone welcome.
“I will give you rest, come”
