WOMEN'S' WORLD DAY OF PRAYER - 6TH MARCH 2009

Women’s World Day of Prayer was held on Friday, 6th March. The host country this year was Papua New Guinea, a country made up of 600 islands. The women of Papua New Guinea wrote the service which was used all around the world.

This year it was the turn of Sacred Heart Church to host the other Henley churches. The service was supplemented by a talk from a young lady by name of Narelle Chidwick who had lived in Papua New Guinea for some years and now lives in Henley. Ladies of the parish made efforts to represent life in Papua New Guinea with painted oars, fruit baskets, flowers and shells. Following the service we enjoyed tea and delicious cakes in the parish hall where we had a slide show to give us an insight into life there.
