Theme: I have heard the stories about your faith. Ua ou faalogo I tala o lou faatuatua.

On Friday 3 March, the Samoan Synod’s Women Fellowship of Auckland District, which is made up of six churches, combined forces to commemorate the annual World Day of Prayer. This special evening service was held at Taeaomua (Ponsonby). The hosting church (mafutaga) is responsible for setting the scene and mood according to the theme translated by the committee of MTSSEMNS.(Mafutaga Tamaitai Sinoti Samoa Ekalesia Metotisi Niu Sila).

Our hosts, Taeaomua, implemented and read-through the set story as per this year’s theme. During the service, a special collection was taken for donations to countries and societies in need, as appointed by the main office.

The Samoan Synod Superintendent Rev. Paulo Ieli was attendance as was the District Superintendent Rev. Falaniko M.T, the church leaders, and our elders, who all made the evening an enjoyable one.
