Take a look at some examples of occasion speeches and modify the best parts of them to suit your theme.
Here’s an abbreviated extract from the website www.find-the-words.com
‘Good morning and a warm word of welcome to everyone who has been able to join us this morning.
What an amazing day and what a fantastic opportunity for us all to come together to share in fellowship and praise.
Psalm 119 : 105 says, "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path." May God's virtue surround us all in his Light. His Word lights our paths and guides us as He illuminates our way.
Thank you for sharing today with us - we hope that the fellowship and love that you experience here today with us will continue to echo in your lives in the days and years that lie ahead.’
Now how about adapting this first to suit the men/women’s day theme:
‘Good morning and a warm word of welcome to everyone who has been able to join us to celebrate International Women’s Day.
What an amazing day and what a fantastic opportunity for us all to come together to show our respect, appreciation and love towards women and to celebrate their economic, political and social achievements.”
Then you could use a different bible extract that has a greater relevance to your subject.
Or you could discuss the work of a male/female priest, Gideon, church volunteer or anything else you can think of.
If you have a lot of time, it would be worth putting in some background about the days you are celebrating.
International Women's Day was originally called International Working Women’s Day, and is marked on March 8 every year. It started as a Socialist political event but has now blended in the culture of many countries around Europe. It is different to Mother's Day and St Valentine's Day where men often show their love for their mothers because it is a chance to look at the political and social struggles of women worldwide.
International Men's Day is celebrated on November 19 and has the objective of promoting good health, gender relations and highlighting positive male role models.[2][3][4][5] It is marked in Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, Australia, India, United States, Singapore, Malta, United Kingdom, South Africa, Hungary, Ireland, Ghana, Canada, Denmark, Austria, France, Pakistan, Antigua and Barbuda, St. Kitts and Nevis, Grenada and Italy.
