World Day of Prayer Service

Venue: St Edmund's Church, Radley Road

The material for this year’s World Day of Prayer comes from Nigeria with the theme ‘I will give you rest, come’,  from Matthew 11:28—30.

The service shares the stories of four Nigerian women who inspire us to work towards a world without injustice, insecurity, marginalisation, religious persecution, poverty and despair. It will be held on the same day in churches across the world.

All are welcome to the service in Abingdon. Refreshments will be served afterwards.

All-Age Meeting for Worship for Easter Day

We will begin with a normal Meeting for Worship for 30 minutes while the children prepare. The children will then come in and lead an activity. This will then be followed by another activity in which Friends will be each invited to share a reflection on the theme, contributing to something symbolic which will be created together.
