2026 World Day Of Prayer

The 2026 World Day of Prayer materials from Nigeria bring us a powerful invitation drawn from Matthew 11:28-30. At a time when people worldwide are carrying heavy burdens, our Nigerian sisters offer profound insights into finding rest in God. ​

Through their exploration of different kinds of burdens - shame, systemic oppression, religious persecution, poverty and despair - the writers help us understand both the weight of human suffering and the depths of divine rest. Their work shows us that true rest isn't just about physical relief, but about transformation through God's grace and community support. 

All are invited to join for prayer at Church Of The Ascension, 2/4 Arkaba Road, Aldgate on Friday March 6 from 10am. Please see Debbie Grace for more information.
