Suriname WDP Committee
World Day of Prayer
On Friday, March 2nd, the World Day of Prayer was celebrated at Christ Church,
our sister church in Lausanne.
We woke up to thick SNOW and therefore many people found it difficult, even
with public transport, to attend the Service. We had planned to bring Melody,
our faithful organist, but accidents and holdups on the icy snowy roads made it
impossible for her to be with us.
Fortunately, Mr. Edgar Wilson, husband of Rev. Marée Wilson, was with us and
had all the hymns on a CD! He really saved the situation and although numbers
were down quite significantly, we were able to join fellow worshippers the world
over to pray for Suriname and for the world with all its present uncertainty and
suffering. A group of young people from Youth with a Mission were able to be
with us and enjoyed sharing the buffet lunch when we were able to make their
acquaintance.
As each year, this ecumenical celebration is a golden opportunity to meet with
friends and members of other English speaking churches in the area and we
thank everyone for their valuable contribution both in presence and financial
donations for Suriname.
