The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity

with Rev Jim Lemon, Jennymount Methodist Church

 

For the year 2005, the Churches of Slovakia have chosen the theme and key Bible readings.  The Slovak Churches are encouraging us to reflect, with Christians all over the world, on the foundations of our common faith – Jesus Christ, the Lord, who is the same yesterday, today and forever.

 

Welcome and Call to Worship

A warm welcome to you all, gathered here today in Christ’s name.  God calls us to grow closer to one another as we grow in Christ.  Today we give thanks for all who are meeting like us, throughout the world, to pray for Christian unity.
