Christians worldwide gather in prayer for unity

 

The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, celebrated from 18-25 January, involves Christian communities from many traditions and all parts of the globe.

Each year there is a different theme set by Christian communities of different traditions from around the world. The 2021 theme is ‘Abiding in Christ’, and has been prepared by the sisters of the Community of Grandchamp in Switzerland. 

The theme “Abide in my love and you shall bear much fruit” (cf. Jn 15:5-9) allowed the community’s 50 sisters from diverse confessions and countries to share the wisdom of their contemplative life abiding in the love of God.

In normal times we would have a Cheshire United Service on the Sunday of the Week of Prayer.  This year that is not possible, so a group from Alsager Churches Together has gathered to record the service, which you can view on the link below.
