World Day of Prayer

The people of Paraguay have written the service for the 2007 World Day of Prayer, on the theme "united under God's tent."

Wars and a long dictatorship have taken their toll on Paraguay. Despite their poverty and struggle to survive, Paraguayans are a caring and musical people, known around the world for folk music and handmade spider web lace, and of course their Olympic medal winning soccer team.

More than 170 countries around the world and 2,000 communities across Canada will celebrate World Day of Prayer.

All the local churches are participating and invite men and women of all faiths to attend a service, held this year at Holy Family Church, Allan Drive, Bolton, March 2 at 1:30 p.m.
