In the midst of all the uncertainties we are living under due to the CO VID-19 pandemic\, the WDP 2022 theme emerges like a balm of confidence. It is an invitation to place our trust in God in times of suffering.\n\nThe program is based on the letter that the prophet Jeremiah wrote to the exil es in Babylonia. The exiles were in a context of suffering\, uncertainty\, and opposing views on how to respond to the moment. Today\, we come toget her to hear the stories of women who feel excluded\, listen to the fear of a child refugee and learn to see the context of a multi-ethnic\, multi-cu ltural\, and multi-faith society in England\, Wales and Northern Ireland ( EWNI). For Jeremiah\, God’s plan was clear\, and we share this assurance by singing it. What is your WDP hope? Let the children and the youth guid e your response. Then\, come to celebrate hope by lighting a candle on beh alf of the seven regions of the world\, knowing that our prayerful action can bring to life the promises of God who\, like a Mother and Father\, car es for us all. We are given a seed of hope to ponder where it needs to be planted in our lives and in our communities. Take this opportunity\, to ra ise awareness on the needs of your community and offer the gifts of prayer s and commitment. A seed\, nourished by prayers of intercession and action s of love\, bind us together around the world.\n\nTogether with our Englan d\, Wales\, Northern Ireland sisters we light the candle and pray: ​God\ , our Mother and our Father\, we light a candle of hope to celebrate with all your people as we watch and wait for your plans and promises to be ful filled. ​ - Laurence Gangloff\, World Day of Prayer International Commit tee Chairperson\n\nTo DONATE the Women's Inter-Church Council of Canada by sending cheques to 47 Queen's Park Crescent East\, Toronto\, ON M5S 2C3 o r using the donate button on their website\, https://wicc.org/donations/\n \nHere is the World Day of Prayer (WDP) 2022 Virtual Service produced by W omen's Inter-Church Council of Canada: https://youtu.be/lqO16Otsd6A\n\nA 5 5 minute video featuring women and men from across Canada\, has been creat ed to view at home and churches.
