BORDEN (S’toon) — On the first Friday afternoon in March, the women of St. John’s Anglican Church, Borden and St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Radisson, along with women from the wider community, gathered in the parish hall of St. John’s, Borden, to celebrate the annual Women’s World Day of Prayer.
The program was prepared by three groups of Christian women from Nigeria. Peace Ojong, a woman studying in Canada, made Gele head scarves as a demonstration. She also made samosas, spring rolls and puff puffs for the 32 women gathered.
Brenda Tumbach decorated the hall, and Linda Hosegood provided the musical accompaniment for the service.
Through the service, we learned about the difficult lives of women in Nigeria.
