YWCA -YMCA Week of Prayer and World Fellowship
Every year since 1904, the World YWCA and the World Alliance of YMCAs have issued a joint call to prayer for one week commencing on the second Sunday of November.
The Week presents an opportunity for the YWCA and YMCA movements to pray and act together on a shared issue with members around the world. A booklet is produced to resource the week each year and includes a suggested order of worship and a 12-month bible reading plan.
The 2009 theme of the Week of Prayer is Striving for Global Citizenship for All. By focusing on global citizenship, we wanted to stress how critical it is today to see that the challenges we face in our communities have a global dimension and that while responding at local level is crucial, we should also be cognizant of the need for global solidarity.
The 2011 YWCA/YMCA Week of Prayer was held from the November 13 to 19 . The theme was ‘A Voice to Influence: Young people speaking out for rights and justice'. This joint Week of Prayer invited us to honour young people with respect and responsibility as co-workers in the Kingdom of God. Young people have something life bringing and life changing to say.
