Fri 1 Mar 2019: World Day of Prayer
This event is in the past.
The World Day of Prayer is a global ecumenical movement led by Christian women. This year women in Slovenia have prepared a service on the theme 'Come - everything is ready'. In Charlbury the service will be held on Friday 1st March at 11am in the Baptist Church, Dyers Hill. Everyone is welcome - men as well as women!
The art work is by the Slovenian artist Rezka Arnus. It represents a table laid for a celebration with typical Slovenian food. The people at the top of the picture are enjoying a party but those at the bottom represent people who are often marginalised in society. The picture illustrates a parable from St Luke's Gospel in which wealthy people refused an invitation to a feast and poor people living on the streets were invited in their place. Rezka uses her art to combine traditional figures with inner thoughts and feelings.
