Women’s World Day of Prayer (Scottish Committee Report)
1.1 With a vengeance, winter finally arrived in Scotland on Friday 3 March. We woke to snow across most of the country but the show must go on and our services did just that. Some were cancelled and others had smaller attendances.
1.2 “Sign of the Times” written by the women of South Africa was an excellent Service with good reports which were held in all the usual places.
1.3 Many of the Services had speakers who knew South Africa and some even had South African ministers and this gave added dimensions to the Services.
1.4 The amount raised through offerings is not finally known as the Books do not close for a few weeks.
1.5 Following on from the 75th Anniversary services in April 2005 we have not rested on our laurels. Once the copies of the service for 2006 were mailed out by the willing band of committee member who do this very important service, work started on the service for 2007 at our week-end retreat at Balvonie in the autumn where much valuable work was done, including reviewing Our Constitution. Time was spent in prayer and reviewing various aspects of the committee’s work.
1.6 We look forward to March 2007 and the Service from Paraguay, “United under God’s Tent”.
ELIZABETH I M KING
