Minute for Mission: World Community Day

Posted October 25th, 2022

World Community Day began in 1943 as a day for church women to study peace. After World War II, church leaders felt that they should set aside a day for prayer and ecumenical study.

The theme for this year’s World Community Day is “A Call to Prayer.”
