WOMEN’S WORLD DAY OF PRAYER
“Let everything that has breath praise God.”
This year in February both the women of the Ashcroft Church and the Mothers’ Union had afternoons looking at slides of the Republic of Cameroon whose Christian women had composed the service.
The service was hosted by Holy Trinity Church, Watermoor. The address was given by Father Leonard of Cirencester Parish Church. He captured the spirit of the Cameroon, leading us all in singing and dancing, praising God, as the people of the Cameroon do, accompanied by home made instruments. We joined in with enthusiasm and the service, attended by about eighty women, moved joyfully to a close.
It had been hoped that Mothers and Toddlers would join us in the opening procession but this was not to be. The morning finished with a welcome cup of coffee and the fellowship was enjoyed by all.
