On Friday, March 2 over 3 million people worldwide will pray together using a form of service prepared by the Christian women of Suriname, a small country at the top of South America, just above Brazil. Through the service the women will focus attention on the need to address climate change with public policies and personal lifestyle at a time when more than 180 countries have signed the Paris Agreement on Climate Change.
