We invite all German speaking congregations in Toronto on March 7, 2025 (Friday) at 11:00 a.m. to a German language service at the Martin Luther Church, 2379 Lake Shore Blvd West, Toronto (Etobicoke), ON M8V 1B7 Tel.: (416) 251-8293). There will be a reception afterwards.

World Day of Prayer is a global ecumenical movement led by Christian women who welcome everyone to join in prayer and action for peace and justice. Every year, a different country prepares the service materials. The World Day of Prayer is generally celebrated on the first Friday of March: March 7th in 2025.

This year’s theme is “I made you wonderful” based on Psalm 139:14 (1-18). Join us to learn about the Cook Islands, their culture, and history; hear the artwork by Tarani and Tevairangi Napa explained; and read the service booklet written by the women from the Cook Islands.

We, at Martin Luther Church (Toronto), welcome all German-speakers from all churches in the GTA to attend the ecumenical service in German, read a part in the service sheet, help with refreshments, and/or set up/take down, for this friendly gathering.

Please share the invitation —and a special request for those interested in helping— to attend our in-person planning meeting at Martin Luther Church on Friday January 31, 2025 at 11 am.
