World Day of Prayer 2026

Friday 6 March was the 2026 World Day of Prayer hosted by St Mary's. This Service was prepared by the ecumenical group of Christian women from Nigeria – The theme being “I will give you rest, Come!”

The Service was led by members and ministers from all our Churches in Glastonbury. We joined in a great wave of prayer which encircled the globe, beginning in Samoa and ending, 146 countries later, in American Samoa all praying with and for the country and people of Nigeria.

The Service was joyful and prayerful with heart rendering stories of the lives of some of the women and children in Nigeria.

The Service was well attended and a collection raised £200 which is being forwarded to the World Day of Prayer for the support of the Nigerian people.
