Twenty-Four Hour Prayer Vigil for Annual Week of Prayer for Christian Unity
Thursday, January 21, 7:00 p.m.
through Friday, January 22, 7:00 p.m.
During the week of January 18-25, 2021, congregations from all Christian denominations will come together in observance of the annual Week of Prayer for Christian Unity.
As part of this observance, we will offer a Twenty-Four Hour Prayer Vigil on Thursday, January 21. We invite you to pray during a 30-minute time period. For links to sign up and more details, visit the event page on the website. Prayer suggestions will be provided to help guide our efforts.
Begun in 1908, the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is celebrated each year in cities and towns across the country and around the world.
The theme for the 2021 observance is “Abide in my love…you shall bear much fruit” (John 15:1-17). The theme and text for each year’s observance of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity are chosen and prepared by representatives of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity and representatives of the World Council of Churches. The international texts are developed, adapted, and published for use in the USA by Graymoor Ecumenical & Interreligious Institute.
We hope you will find this to be an opportunity to pray with ours and the worldwide Christian community for reconciliation and unity. Please join this prayer undertaking.
