Prayers & Praying…

WEEK OF PRAYER FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY: Joined with the World Council of Churches, the week between January 18 – 25 is set aside to intentionally pray that as Christians, we are able to set aside out differences and do the work of Christ together.  The theme for this year is “Reconciliation – the love of Christ compels us”.  Visit the World Council of Churches website to learn more about this week.

SOTH PRAYER CHAIN: For many years, the folks at Shepherd of the Hills have shared their prayer concerns through a text chain.  If you have a request, please text Jill Veasy at 973-903-1993.  Send a brief request and your name and she’ll send it out.

ECUMENICAL PRAYER CYCLE:  The Ecumenical Prayer Cycle enables us to journey in prayer through every region of the world and through every week of the year affirming our solidarity with Christians all over the world, brothers and sisters living in diverse situations, experiencing diverse problems and sharing diverse gifts.  This week – January 22 –  January 29, we join in prayer for Cyprus, Greece, Turkey.   You can click on the link to find out more about these countries or visit www.oikoumene.org.
