Just A Minute: I Will Give You Rest

This is the theme for the World Day of Prayer on Friday 6 March 2026. It is an international, women-led, ecumenical movement that shares the hopes, concerns, and prayers of women from around the globe. Each year, women from a different country craft a service, sharing their unique spiritual journey and culture. For 2026, the women of Nigeria have created a Service that speaks to our need for peace and solace, drawing on their faith and experiences in a world filled with struggles and anxieties.

This day is a powerful demonstration of global solidarity. It begins in Samoa and moves across the world in a continuous wave of prayer, finishing 38 hours later in American Samoa. It truly is a worldwide day of prayer!

Services will be held at St. Stephen’s Church, Down Road, Bexhill and Little Common Methodist Church, Church Hill Avenue, both at 10.30am

All are welcome, not just women.
