Like
every year, in the beginning of March in Lutheran Saviour Parish
in Tomaszów Maz. ecumenical service of the World Day of Prayer
was held. These services are organized every year by women from
different countries for more than 100 years.
This
year the lithurgy was prepared by Polish women from 9 churches.
In Tomaszów the service was organized by women from Lutheran parish
(Ewa Kononienko-Pawlas, who is a member of the Polish Preparation
Committee, Beata Parot, Zuzanna Matyjaszczyk and others) and from
Roman-Catholic parish (Grażyna Misiak, Joanna Choromańska and
others).
Topic
of our service - "Let our light shine" - was presented
through Biblic texts - read or performed - and by symbolical sharing
one another with bread and salt, and with light, as well.
It
was possible to learn more about the history of World Day of Prayer
and about this year preparations, thanks to the exhibition and
slideshow.
