Dungannon Branch WDP Committee L-R Back Row: Abby Anderson; Joyce Espie (Treasurer); Linda Stewart Front Row: Alexandra McAteer; Iris Suitor; Judith Anderson (Secretary).
THE World Day of Prayer service for the Dungannon area was held in St Elizabeth’s Church of Ireland, Moygashel on Friday past.
This year was special as the service was written by the Christian women of England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The theme was the Bible text from Jeremiah Chapter 29 “I Know the Plans I Have for You” which encouraged us to reflect on some of the issues facing us today: poverty, domestic abuse and disability, finding hope in difficult situations and encouragement in help from each other.
This message of hope is particularly important at present when we are coming to terms with the ongoing risks of the pandemic and turning our thoughts and prayers to the ongoing situation in the Ukraine.

The service was led by Janette Newell, Erin Topley and Monica McGeary and the readers were Valerie Campbell, Lesa Martin and Suzette Meeke, with Susan Stewart providing the music.
The Dungannon Committee is very grateful to the Rector of Drumglass Parish for the use of St Elizabeth’s Church for the service.
Another special aspect of this year’s service is the fact that the Bible Society has supported three projects in NI ‘Bibles for Babies’, ‘52’ and ‘Daring to Hope – Lament’ which have provided us with an opportunity for whole family Bible engagement. More information is available on the Bible Society website www.biblesocietyni.co.uk or by contacting the Belfast office on 028 9032 6577.
