World Day Of Prayer

The invitation is out for everyone – men, women, and children of all ages – to join the 2023 World Day of Prayer as we celebrate the theme “I have heard about your faith” based on Ephesians 1: 15-19. The women of Taiwan have prepared the service this year. We are invited to reflect on the changes and challenges faced by this country as the citizens evolve amidst struggles for independence internationally, as well as the obstacles that women, in particular, face at home. Regardless of changes, women in Taiwan remain somewhat oppressed and encounter many challenges in gender equality both politically and in the labour market.

This year it is St James’ turn to host the service for the central Etobicoke area east of Highway 427. After two years of virtual services we once again invite you to participate in an in person service to be held on Friday March 3rd, 2023 at 1:30 p.m. The service will also be live-streamed. Four area churches are providing leadership in the planning and will be participating in the service: St Gregory Roman Catholic, St James’ United, St Matthew’s Anglican and St Philip’s Lutheran. A time of fellowship and refreshments will take place in our Fellowship Hall after the service.
