World Day of Prayer event in Norwich

Witard Road Baptist Church will be marking World Day of Prayer on March 6 and invites all to join in prayer and action for peace and justice. 
 

World Day of Prayer is a global ecumenical movement started by Christian women but which now includes men. Each year, a different country is responsible for preparing the materials, and this year is the turn of Nigeria.

The 2026 World Day of Prayer materials from Nigeria bring a powerful invitation drawn from Matthew 11:28-30. At a time when people worldwide are carrying heavy burdens, our Nigerian sisters offer profound insights into finding rest in God. 

Through their exploration of different kinds of burdens - shame, systemic oppression, religious persecution, poverty and despair - the writers help us understand both the weight of human suffering and the depths of divine rest. Their work shows us that true rest isn't just about physical relief, but about transformation through God's grace and community support. 

The purpose of World Day of Prayer is to stand together as a community. Informed prayer materials produced by the people of Nigeria means that Christians around the world act in solidarity with women and communities in need.
