A SPECIAL service for the Women’s World Day of Prayer will be held at Wesley Methodist Church on Friday 3rd March at 2.30pm.
This is held annually in over 170 countries and enables us to hear the voices of women from all parts of the world, their hopes, concerns and prayers.
This year the theme is ‘Am I Being Unfair to You?’, which has been prepared by the Christian women of the Philippines and the service has been translated into 1,000 different languages and dialects. The service starts at sunrise over the island of Samoa and continues until sunset off the coast of American Samoa.
In 2013 Typhoon Haiyan struck the Philippine Islands, which is already a poor country in the Western Pacific Ocean. This is mentioned in the service and the difficulties, hopes and fears of the people are shared.
This service is regularly celebrated in Frome supported by the churches with ladies and some gentlemen taking part. You would be most welcome and there will be refreshments afterwards.
For further information please contact Jean Fraser 01373 473302.

![Town-wide programme brings month of social activities in May
A month-long programme of activities and events is set to take place across the town in May as part of an initiative encouraging residents to connect with themselves, each other and local places.
The scheme, Frome Connects, will run throughout the month and includes a mix of social activities, creative events and informal meet-ups in community spaces.
Highlights include the return of Dress Up Fridays, which began during lockdown and invites people to wear formal clothing or fancy dress and turn the town into their catwalk each Friday.
Set-piece moments include a Kate Bush-themed flashmob (Running Up That [Catherine] Hill) on 30th May, followed by a bell peal at St John’s Church where the bells will play Running Up That Hill.
There will also be a whole-town drone photo on Friday 30th May, with everyone encouraged to ‘look up’ at around 12.30pm.
