“It was attended by 50 people, with most Christian churches of the Nambucca Valley represented.”

This year’s message was ‘I have heard about your faith’.

The service included speakers from five different Churches of the Valley, sharing beautiful stories of five different Taiwanese women.

Evronia Allan, Youth Ministry Development Officer of the Diocese of Lismore, was the guest speaker, who recounted her experiences of evangelisation ministry in Canada.

Prayers and music were the highlight of the service, where everyone united as one to reinforce this year’s World Day of Prayer motto – ‘Informed prayer and prayerful action’.

The Uniting Church was commissioned for next year’s World Day of Prayer service, with Palestine as the focus country.
