    Juliette Pita’s artwork depicts a mother praying and sheltering her child under a tree with strong roots during a cyclone. World Day of Prayer Worship Service Vanuatu 2021 “Build on a Strong Foundation” The 2021 service was written by the Vanuatu World Day of Prayer Committee. This worship booklet was prepared and adapted for use in Canada by the Women’s Inter-Church Council of Canada. Vanuatu Australia PROCESSION WELCOME Leader 1: Welcome to World Day of Prayer 2021, prepared by the Christian women of the Republic of Vanuatu (VAH-noo-AH-too). We welcome our sisters and brothers around the world in the name of Jesus. Vanuatu is a small country of islands located in the South Pacific Ocean. The black and white sandy beaches, coral reefs with coloured fish, lovely birds, and fruits and nuts in the forest, all make the islands a pristine environment, even though they are vulnerable to frequent tropical storms, earthquakes, cyclones, tsunamis and active volcanoes. Melanesian people, along with Polynesian, are the primary source of Vanuatu’s culture, languages, traditional values, and spirituality. Each island and village used to have their own chief and style of governance, their own gods, and their own language. Their thatched houses were made from leaves and trees, using stone axes. Women and men would come together at the Farea (“fear-e-a”; village meeting house) to discuss major issues. The Republic of Vanuatu was formed after independence in 1980 from a French and British Condominium government. Today, Vanuatu proudly Vanuatu 2021 2 World Day of Prayer waves its flag and its coat of arms which reads, “In God we stand.” Song Call to Worship Leader 2: Let’s read together the words of worship as found in the first verse of Psalm 127.

INTRODUCTION Shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, and tits.1 For any American who has turned on his or her television since 1978 and tuned into one of the traditional broadcast networks—ABC, NBC, CBS, or Fox—these seven words have been conspicuously absent from broadcasting. Confusingly, with a flip of the remote over to a premium cable television station, these seven words may all occur in quick succession on one television show.2 When one of them does happen to make it to air on a broadcast network, it often becomes the source of an astronomical fine from the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) and years of litigation between the network and the federal government.3 A recent case resulted in a huge victory for broadcasters.
