Creating the WDP service video is a labour of love, prayerful action … and layers.
First, WICC receives the service from the international committee almost a year in advance.
Next, a WICC board team reads through the service and carefully determines if any adaptations are required for Canada.
Then, WICC staff edits for grammar and pacing.
The Board approved service is then turned into a script for a 55-minute service. Notes are inserted about sets, scene transitions and supporting graphics.
Once these pieces are in place, the script is sent to the volunteer readers for practice, and the videographer so that a reading screen will be ready for taping and camera angles can be determined.
On June 5th, our Executive Director, Communications Specialist and patient volunteers arranged the set pieces. Then, with a script in hand, the ED directed the taping as the closed captions rolled, cameras recorded and WICC Board members took turns gallantly and graciously speaking the words prayerfully written several years ago by the WDP committee of Nigerian women.
Over the summer, the videographer spent time editing the “takes” into a smooth copy. Now, song recordings, graphics and credits are being added.
To all who participated in the recording of the WDP 2026 service video, thank you! The final version will be available online through wdpcanada.ca by January 2026. Additionally, USBs containing the video and other service materials will be available for purchase through the wdpcanada.ca store.
