YWCA -YMCA Week of Prayer and World Fellowship
For over a century the YWCA and YMCA movements have issued a joint call to pray in the month of November as an important reminder of the spiritual vision that drives their efforts to create a better world for all people.
The week presents an opportunity for the YWCA and YMCA movements to pray and act together on a shared issue with members around the world. A booklet is produced to resource the week each year and includes a suggested order of worship and a 12-month bible reading plan.
This year’s YWCA/YMCA Week of Prayer will be held from the November 13 to 19, 2011 . The theme is ‘A Voice to Influence: Young people speaking out for rights and justice'. This year’s joint Week of Prayer invites us to honour young people with respect and responsibility as co-workers in the Kingdom of God. Young people have something life bringing and life changing to say.
