Church Women United to host World Day of Prayer
Church Women United of Sedalia announces they will Celebrate World Day of Prayer for 2020, at 1:30 p.m. Friday, March 6 at Community of Christ Church, 2000 S. Ingram Ave. The theme for this year’s celebration is written by the Christian Women of Zimbabwe titled “Rise, Take up your Mat and walk.”
The program is a call to action from John 5:2-9, based on Jesus' encounter with a person who had been lying on his bed and Jesus asks him “Do you want to be made well?” With the theme “Rise, take up your Mat and walk,” everyone is faced with a life changing question of “What are you going to do?” Each has much to learn from the women of Zimbabwe who challenge everyone that whatever one is facing in life, they should not be afraid to take action.
Church Women United invites the public to join in this meaningful celebration. Light refreshments will be served.
