Week of Prayer for Christian Unity

18 - 25 January

This year’s Week of Prayer for Christian
Unity, prepared by the churches of
Minnesota, focuses on exploring how
the work of Christian unity can
contribute to the promotion of racial
justice across all levels of society.

A short service or act of worship will

be held in a different local church each
day of the week to which all are invited.

The highlight of the Week is on Sunday
22 January when members of each
congregation attend morning service in
another church and at 3pm all gather at
St Peter’s for a Service of Unity.
