Ecumenical prayer services planned March 4, 5 and 11

Twenty churches around the Louisville area will host services to mark the World Day of Prayer on March 4, 5 and 11.

This World Day of Prayer observance was established by an “ecumenical movement of Christian women who come together to observe a common day of prayer each year on the first Friday of March,” a media release said.

Each year a committee from a different country plans the day’s service. This year’s service was created by women on the World Day of Prayer Cuba Committee.

Worship services will center on “Jesus’ teaching of acceptance as he states: ‘Let the little children come to me; do not stop them, for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs,’ ” the release said.
