ECUMENICAL PRAYER SERVICE
The Ecumenical Millennium Committee invites you and the people of your congregation to participate with your presence at an Ecumenical Prayer Service, January 20, 2008 at 4:00 p.m. which will be held at Christ Community Church of God in Christ 1151 E. 170th St. South Holland. Dr. David Daniels will bring the message.
This will be the eighth year the service has been sponsored by the churches listed here. The EMC was formed at the end of 1999 to herald in the 21st century with Christ, and continues to promote the goal of unity in Christ as the goal and emblem of this new millennium.
You are encouraged to invite the members of your congregation/parish to this ecumenical service. Please distribute the enclosed flyer as widely as possible.
The theme of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity 2008 is "Pray without ceasing" (1 Thessalonians 5: 17) Despite our brokenness and imperfections, we seek through prayer the unity God intends for his creation. The service is adapted by the Ecumenical Millennium Committee from a service prepared by an ecumenical group of biblical scholars, theologians, priests, pastors and lay persons.
The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity was established in 1908. It is now sponsored by the World Council of Churches and the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity. It is celebrated between the feasts of Saint Peter (January 18) and St. Paul (January 25). Concurrent with Dr. Martin Luther King Day observances, it compels Christians to promote reconciliation among races, nations, and all peoples, as well as among churches.
Please promote attendance at the January 20th Ecumenical Pra Just try having an error-free day, and then tell me how. Service and participation locally throughout the whole Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. Thank you.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Edgar L. Hiestand Jr.
