Feedback from World Day of Prayer

Craigsbank led a short service at Drumbrae Care Home on Thursday 3 March. This was a shortened form of the service held all over the world on 4 March. Craigsbank joined with other local churches and took part in the service at St Thomas' Church on Glasgow Road. Our Order of Service gave some background to Cuba. The one shown is the Care Home cover.
The Order of Service for the main service had a prayer and painting on its cover.
The service was interactive with the congregation responding throughout to readings from a variety of women. There were several hymns including "For the beauty of the earth", "All over the world the Spirit is moving", "Lord, you have come to the seashore" (see below) and ended with "The day you gave us, Lord, has ended" which has a particularly appropriate 3rd verse: As o'er each continent and island Prayers were interspersed throughout including the Lords Prayer which was said after the Prayer of Commitment: "We will speak kindly and be a forgiving community We will accept every human being as unique and of worth to God We will keep hope in a future of justice and peace We will receive children in order that they may dream, laugh, dance and love without discrimination We will commit ourselves in the name of the One who taught us to pray the The back page of the Order of Service gives some background to the World Day of Prayer Movement:
An important part of both the Care Home and the St Thomas' service was that we had a chance to chat to other people over tea and biscuits.
