CHURCHES in Manningtree came together to celebrate Women’s World Day of Prayer.

A service was held at Manningtree Methodist Church on Friday.

This year, the service was prepared by women from the Bahamas and organised locally by parishioners from Dedham.

Each year the service is organised by a different church in the area and planned by women from different countries around the world.

Items discussed included issues that concern Bahamian women.
