The Vermont Ecumenical Council will sponsor a service commemorating the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity on Sunday Jan. 23, 2022 at 4:00 pm. The service will be online or “hybrid” – more information TBA. We want YOU to participate from what ever corner of VT you are from!  

 

This year’s theme for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is “We saw the star in the East, and we came to worship Him” – Matthew 2:2. The theme this year was selected and developed by the Graymoor Ecumenical & Interreligious Institute in consultation with the Middle East Council of Churches, and originated from the churches in Lebanon.  

 

For over a hundred years the Graymoor Ecumenical and Interreligious Institute has sponsored the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity in the octave between the Feast of the Confession of St. Peter (January 18) and the Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul (January 25). Each year Graymoor invites the church in a different part of the world to offer a theme for the celebration, along with Scriptural and liturgical resources that raise up the concerns of Christians in that part of the world in the context of the Gospel’s vision that all followers of Jesus Christ be one.

All Vermont Christian churches, organizations and ministries are invited to participate in the VECNCC’s service on January 23. For more information, please contact The Rev. Dr. Frederick Moser, fredmoser@trinityshelburne.org.
