Atwood to observe World Day
of Prayer Friday, March 5

?Atwood will observe World Day of Prayer at 1 p.m., Friday, March 5 at the Christian Church, with women of local churches presenting the services. Everyone is invited to attend this service.
World Day of Prayer is a worldwide ecumenical movement that invites people of many faith traditions to come together to observe a common day of prayer each year on the first Friday in March.
Each year, a different country serves as writer of the worship service. For 2010, the WDP committee of Cameroon developed the theme, “Let everything that has breath praise God.”
The women of Cameroon invite participants in the prayer event to “Africa in miniature,” a country in which climate and culture are rich with diversity and where people are bound together by a love for music, family and faith.
