Celebrating World Day of Prayer - March 7, 2014

This year we celebrated World Day of Prayer in our church, along with women from the Orthodox Church and the Catholic Church.  The liturgy was written by the women from Egypt, on the theme  "Streams in the Desert".  More than 100 women attended in Strumica.  Services were held in 9 other UMCs as well.
