Scope and content
The fonds consists of one volume of minutes of the Summerside Women's United Missionary Meeting from 1916 to 1933 followed by the minutes of its successor, the annual World Day of Prayer from 1934 to 1999. The volume also contains some programs, receipts for offerings collected and newspaper clippings.
The World Day of Prayer is celebrated annually in over 170 countries around the world. Themes and writers of the services are chosen by the International Committee which meets every four years. In Canada, services are edited, printed and distributed by the Women's Inter-Church Council of Canada. In Summerside, Prince Edward Island, the World Day of Prayer grew out of the United Missionary Meeting held yearly by the Womens' Missionary Societies of the different Summerside churches. This group met every year since 1916 alternating amongst the member churches. In 1934 the annual meeting began coinciding with the World Day of Prayer.
