    Los Angeles, CA - The 2015 Women's World Day of Prayer will bring
    together hundreds of participants from Armenian churches across the
    Greater Los Angeles area on March 6, commemorating the 45th
    anniversary of the event. It
    will be held at the United Armenian Congregational Church, 3480
    Cahuenga Blvd., Los Angeles, where the annual gathering was founded in
    1970 by the late Aznive Apkarian, a devout Christian woman.
    Mrs. Apkarian, wife of Rev. Hovannes Apkarian, established the event
    for Armenian women, previously, while residing in Syria.
    Through the World Day of Prayer women are encouraged to
    become
    aware of other countries and cultures and to pray with and for
    them. They are further encouraged to become aware of their own talents
    and use them in
    the service of society. The World Day of Prayer aims to demonstrate
    that prayer and action are inseparable and that both have immeasurable
    influence in the world. This year's theme, `Do you know what I have
    done for you?' was selected by the women of the Bahamas and is derived
    from John 13:1-17.
    The service will begin at 11 am in the UACC sanctuary. The
    Southland coordinator is Mary Agulian. A buffet lunch sponsored by
    Mrs. Apkarian's daughter, Grace Kurkjian, will follow the program just
    outside the sanctuary in the church's Avazian Hall.
    The Women's World Day of Prayer began in the United States
    in 1887. It expanded to Canada, then to the British Isles in the
    1930s. Catholic women were allowed to join the movement after the
    Second Vatican Council, beginning in 1967. This annual, ecumenical
    event is celebrated in more than 170 countries worldwide.
