Celebrating 2021 Week of Prayer for Christian Unity in Canada
Every year, Christians around the world are invited to celebrate a Week of Prayer for the unity of all Christians, to reflect on scripture together, to participate in jointly-organized ecumenical services, and to share fellowship.
The theme for Week of Prayer for Christian Unity 2021 is “Abide in my love and you shall bear much fruit” (John 15:5-9). This theme is developed through a series of reflections which extend over eight days and will be the basis of the Bible study. Each day will be led by a different denominational leader.
The international resources for 2021 Week of Prayer for Christian Unity have been prepared by the Monastic Community of Grandchamp in Switzerland, a group of religious sisters from different church traditions brought together by a common vocation of prayer, community life and hospitality and by their commitment to Christian unity.
Daily Bible Studies are being led by and for the churches of Regina. First Baptist is leading Tuesday’s Bible study. The Zoom link will be provided closer to the event.
