This year, churches and theological seminaries across China conducted worship services to celebrate the World Day of Prayer around March 8, the same time when International Women's Day was observed. 

The theme of the Chinese TSPM Churches' 2024 World Day of Prayer was "Unity, Harmony, and Peace" with prayers for church unity, motherland prosperity, and the active role of Christian women in promoting the sinicization of Christianity as a response to scriptures from Ephesians 4:2–3, Psalm 65:11, James 3:18, and Proverbs 31:20–31. Four Chinese Christian women's stories were also shared. 

It has been the third year that China's TSPM church has observed this global ecumenical movement with its material. According to the official website of WDP, the WDP program 2024 was written by the World Day of Prayer Committee of Palestine, themed "I Beg You... Bear With One Another in Love," based on Ephesians 4:1–3.
