Celebrate the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity on Monday Jan 25th at 7pm. Members from all Christian Churches are invited to participate in this service organized by the Summerside Christian Council. No registration is required. Entrance is granted to the first 150 persons on a first come, first served basis.
The theme this year is ‘Abide in my love and you shall bear much fruit’ (John 15:5-9) — and it calls us to pray and to work for reconciliation and unity in the church, with our human family, and with all of creation. Drawing on the Gospel image of vine and branches, it invites us to nourish our unity with God and with one another through contemplative silence, prayer, and common action. Grafted into Christ the vine has many diverse branches, may we bear rich fruit and create new ways of living, with respect for and communion with all of creation.
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 service, and to share fellowship. The preparation for the 2021 Week of Prayer has 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.
