Today around Northern Ireland women are coming together in prayer.

The Women’s World Day of Prayer services are always held on the first Friday of March.

People of all ages come together to worship on this special day every year.

This year people will be praying for a range of issues globally, including those in Ukraine which is currently experiencing political unrest.

Although prayer takes place on the Friday, the movement continues all year, sharing the good news of Jesus.
