Women's World Day of Prayer 2026 Unites Global Congregations Under Nigerian Theme
The Women's World Day of Prayer 2026 will take place on Friday, March 6. This year's theme, 'Come! Bring Your Burdens' (Matthew 11:28–30), was chosen by women from Nigeria. The event will unite congregations in over 150 countries for prayer and reflection.
Preparations for the 2026 event have been led by Nigerian women, who selected the biblical passage as the central focus. Their choice reflects a message of hope and shared support in times of hardship.
In Germany, local churches are already organizing services. Congregations in the Bad Salzungen-Dermbach district have announced public worship events, inviting communities to participate. Meanwhile, Oberstdorf parish has also confirmed plans for a service, though broader details on national participation remain limited.
The Women's World Day of Prayer has long been a global tradition, bringing together people of different backgrounds. Each year, a different country prepares the materials, ensuring a diverse range of perspectives and cultural influences.
The 2026 theme encourages participants to share their struggles and find strength in community. Services will be held worldwide, with local events offering opportunities for worship and fellowship. Organizers hope the day will foster unity and reflection across cultures.
