Caboolture Churches to Join World Day of Prayer for Cook IslandsCaboolture’s diverse Christian community will unite with worshippers worldwide on Friday, 7 March 2025, to observe the World Day of Prayer. The event will focus on the Cook Islands and the theme “I made you wonderful.”
Local Churches Unite for Global Cause
Each year, churches across Caboolture take turns hosting the World Day of Prayer, an international initiative started by women. This year, The Salvation Army at the corner of Lower King and Dux Streets will open its doors to all denominations at 10:30 am. The service, prepared by women from the Cook Islands, will lift up prayers for their nation, with a particular focus on supporting women affected by domestic violence.
The World Day of Prayer offers local congregations a chance to connect with a global movement and learn about the featured country’s culture, history, and challenges.
Focus on the Cook Islands
The 2025 World Day of Prayer program centres around the Cook Islands, a nation known for its rich music, dance, and storytelling traditions. The theme, “I Made You Wonderful,” taken from Psalm 139:14, celebrates God’s creation and the diversity of human expression.
Organisers hope participants will better appreciate the Cook Islands and its people through prayer and reflection. The service will include prayers for environmental protection, the well-being of Cook Islanders, and the continued growth of Christian faith within their communities.
A Global Day of Unity
The World Day of Prayer is an annual event held on the first Friday in March. It unites Christians worldwide in a shared act of worship and intercession. While participation is optional for some church groups, it is strongly encouraged as it provides an opportunity to stand in solidarity with Christians worldwide.
For those unable to attend the Caboolture event, information about other local and online gatherings can be found within the wider community.
