World Day of Prayer was March 1. The worship service was held at Blessed Sacrament in Clermont. The order of worship was prepared by the World day of Prayer Committee of Slovenia and World day of Prayer USA. Women from several area churches represented women from Slovenia. They spoke about different issues the woman had faced living in Slovenia.
Some of their issues were having to leave because of political unrest, becoming older, society discrimination, poverty, and lack of opportunities for women. Janet Blume and
Diane Wells took part in the presentation.
After each of the women told their story, a prayer was given for all that are suffering from the problem in the world.
There was a nice group of women present, about 10 from United Methodist Women, Clermont. The end of the program Luke 14:15-24 was read, the parable of the Great Supper. Then in small groups there were discussion questions about the parable to think about and share.
After the program a bountiful luncheon was served which included some Slovenia foods.
