Week of Prayer for Christian Unity
JANUARY 18 - 25
God of all, we pray as one, that we may be one, just as the Lord Jesus prayed we may be one in Him. Your
son Jesus compels us to be reconciled to one another. May our spirits be
joined to your Holy Spirit, that we may witness to the visible unity of your
Church. May we all recognize that we are truly one with you, Father, Son and Holy Spirit and grow together in peace.
We ask this in the name of Jesus our Lord. Amen

Semana de Oración por la Unidad Cristiana
18 y 25 de enero
Dios de todos, roguemos como uno, para que todos
seamos uno, así como Nuestro Señor Jesús oró para que
podamos ser uno en Él. Tu hijo Jesús nos obliga a reconciliarnos entre todos. Que se puedan unir nuestros espíritus a tu Espíritu Santo, para que podamos dar testimonio de la unidad visible de
tu Igelsia. Que todos reconozcamos que somos verdaderamente uno contigo,
Padre, Hijo y Espiritu Santo y podamos crecer juntos en paz. Lo pedimos en el
nombre de Jesús, Nuestro Señor. Amén
Lord, every nation on earth will adore you.

God is calling you to serve His poor.
Once a month, our Peace & Justice Ministry, with the assistance of the Homeschool RE
Group, are organizing dinners for the homeless and needy in our community.
To join us in this service, we are looking for cooks and bakers to prepare hot meals and dessert. Volunteers to work the dinner are
also needed.
Each month has an assigned menu and the food items will be brought to the gym.
Cash donations for paper good supplies are
also welcome.
