St. Stephen Lutheran Church

World Day of Prayer celebrates with a program written by the Christian women of Panama entitled In Faith, Women Shape the Future.”  Through this worship celebration, the women share their faith and continue their commitment to the World Day of Prayer movement which they have celebrated uninterrupted for 50 years.

World Day of Prayer (WDP) is an international event that unites Protestant, Roman Catholic, Orthodox, and other Christian women and men in 179 countries in prayer.  Throughout the day, from the first sunrise to the last sunset, our prayers follow the sun’s path around the globe.  Spoken in hundreds of languages and dialects, WDP strives to bring “informed prayer and prayerful action” to our communities.
