Church March 1.
A fellowship coffee will be held
from 9:30-10:15a.m , and the prayer
service will begin at 10:15 a m. Both

World Day of Prayer is sponsored

movement that brings Protestant,
Roman Catholic and Orthodox
women together into one Christian
"community of caring."
World Day of Prayer will be
celebrated on March 1 in churches
across the United States and in 170
countries and regions of the world
The 1985 service takes as its theme
"Peace Through Prayer and
Action." Written by Christian
women of India, it calls people
throughout the world to gather for
the 98th consecutive year to circle
the globe in prayer for peace and to
actively become peacemakers

Shawna was married, points out the

"But it does happen in the rare
case where the family is very, very

However, two other Winnipeg rab-
