The celebration for young and old on this year's World Day of Prayer once again filled the Reformed Church in Walchwil with life.

Under the motto 'Wonderfully created', women from the Cook Islands presented this year's liturgy and insights into their life on the islands in the Pacific. Songs were sung with the help of an enthusiastic group from the village. The enchanting sounds of Domi Schriber's 'handpan' from Goldau were a highlight. The Walchwil Women's Community, with its lively liturgy group, once again spared no effort in organising a joyful and interesting celebration for all generations. Afterwards, everyone was invited to a get-together with delicious food. The children took part in arts and crafts and enjoyed showing off their creations.

The World Day of Prayer unites ecumenical women's groups from all over the world: ecumenism at its best, solidarity and compassion in joyful celebrations around the globe! Hans-Ruedi Kilchsperger
