Preparation: WDP 2009 - Papua New Guinea
In Christ There Are Many Members, Yet One Body
We invite you to begin your preparation now for WDP 2009.
Essential for your preparation is the Leaders/Planners Guide . It contains important information needed for preparing your Worship Service. For successful planning we suggest that you order enough for your entire planning committee.
This year's theme, "In Christ There Are Many Members, Yet One Body," calls us to unite with women and youth impacted by migration, violence against women, unemployment and underemployment and the impact of HIV and AIDS on their lives and livelihood. With unity, we will stand with the affected against the issues in Papua New Guinea. Let's turn our prayers into action!
"Make purses for yourselves that do not wear out, an unfailing treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys."
from the New Revised Standard Version of Luke12:33
From Babies to Bundles, Bilums Carry It All
WDP 2009 Papua New Guinea: Worship Service Resources
Bilums are a traditional, highly functional art craft of Papua New Guinea. It is a string bag hand made by crocheting or a process called string looping. Traditionally, the hand made string used to make bilums came from plant materials. Today, bilums are usually made from store bought yarn and string. Bilums are used to carry almost everything. From babies to bundles, bilums carry it all!
For World Day of Prayer 2009, three groups from Papua New Guinea have created the beautiful bilums that are available to purchase. Use these beautiful bilums for the 2009 Worship Service or for every day use. Order early as quantities are limited. Download the 2009 Resource Materials Order Form.
