'A heri grontapu di Gado meki bun doro, dóro!'

A heri grontapu di Gado meki bun doro, dóro!
(All God’s creation is very good! in in the Sranan language of Suriname)

The New Mexico chapter of Church Women United hosted the World Day of Prayer service in Albuquerque on Friday, March 2. The World Day of Prayer is a global ecumenical movement led by Christian women who welcome you to join in prayer and action for peace and justice. The theme, All God's Creation is Good, was developed by a diverse group of women from Suriname and was the centerpiece of services held around the world. (See the bulletin that was used for service)

Here are three photos from this year's service in Albuquerque, held at Asbury United Methodist Church. The women in the middle photo represented the voices of the different ethnic groups that comprise Suriname.
