This year St Mary’s Church, Watton hosted the

annual Women’s World Day of Prayer Service on

Friday 6th March. A congregation of 70 plus enjoyed

the experience of sharing with the Christian Women

of the Bahamas, the service they had prepared.

The church was decked with symbols of the many

Bahamian Islands, pictures, sea shells, flowers,

tropical fruit and playing a delightful CD of music

from that area.

During the service we were challenged to learn about Jesus’ radical love for us through the Reading from John’s gospel 13: 1-17 about the washing of the disciples’ feet and then to think how we might demonstrate that radical love in our own lives.

It was a privilege to share in this worldwide annual

event and enjoy the fellowship in our locality.
