Interactive prayer rooms to celebrate LOVE DAY, and World Day of Prayer and beyond Beginning the first weekend in November 2017, we invite you to host an interactive prayer space where you live.

Think of LOVE DAY as your anchor cause day Survey the community around your church

• What are the needs in your community? Pray. Choose a cause:

• vulnerable women, youth and children at risk, relief/community development

Plan a church-wide activity to meet that need. Host an interactive prayer space for the day.

• Think of reflective and creative ways in which your church can pray for the community.

Promote the day at your church. Enjoy the day when it arrives. (And tell us about it!)

LOVE DAY 2017: Saturday November 4 We believe your first mission field is your neighbourhood. On this day, gather your church, put on your LOVE DAY T-shirts and love the vulnerable women, youth and children right where you live, worship or work.

Here are some suggested steps:

• Pray. • Choose an anchor cause and

adopt a project. • Let us know which project

you’ve chosen. • Raise funds throughout the

year. • Send your donations in to

Baptist Women. This is a chance to change lives. You’ll find full details in our CBM booklet.
