Several Sequim churches will join again this year to present the annual World Day of Prayer service, which will be held at noon on Friday, March 7, at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, 525 N. Fifth Ave., Sequim.

The World Day of Prayer is a worldwide ecumenical movement of Christian women of 170 countries who observe a common day of prayer on the first Friday in March each year. The different countries take turns writing the World Day of Prayer worship service interpreting the Bible in their own context and lifting up issues of mission, justice and peace that are important to them. The 2014 worship service was written by the women of Egypt using the theme of “Streams in the Desert.”

An offering will be collected during the service which will help fund grants to nonprofit organizations within the U.S. and internationally.
