World Day of Prayer Service
Friday, March 3 at 11:00 a.m.

First Parish will host Concord’s 2017 World Day of Prayer Service. Women of the Philippines wrote this year’s prayer service, which reminds people of social and economic justice needs in their country and elsewhere. Continuing this annual event, which has taken place since the 1800's, will be Concord’s faith communities and  hundreds of thousands of women in over 170 countries engaging in informed prayers and prayerful actions to diminish injustices suffered by women and children around the world. The intergenerational dance group, Skyloom, will add interesting thematic sacred dance elements to the service. A festive lunch celebrating the people and food of the Philippines will follow the service at noon. There is no charge and reservations are not required.
