CONNECT TO MISSION
Monday, November 1, 2021 This year, while we may be gathering in-person to observe this Day of Prayer for the first time since 2019, let’s remember that for many of our Baptist sisters around the world, COVID-19, displacement, war and natural disasters continue to be their realities. These are times in which now, more than ever, we must heed the call to gather with our Baptist sisters across Ontario, Quebec and around the world to observe Baptist Women’s World Day of Prayer—to pray for each other and to give to overseas and North American grassroots projects that need our engaged support more than ever. Our World Day of Prayer unfolds on Monday November 1, 2021. This year’s theme is Courageous Life! based on Hebrews 13:6. Did you know that this year’s program has been translated into well over 80 languages so that thousands, upon thousands, upon thousands of Baptist women can gather to pray for each other on this special day? It’s a DAY of Prayer because literally, as the world turns, women are praying from the eastern hemisphere all the way around to the west. Do join CBWOQ on Monday, November 1 as our Prayer Network and racial justice team leaders host an online (Zoom) Day of Prayer gathering. We will post signup information the week prior to this event.
