The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity & Ecumenical Prayer Service

The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is celebrated from January 18 – January 25, 2025. This week brings together Christian denominations from around the world to pray that Jesus’ desire that his followers be one come true (John 17:21-23). This year’s theme is “Do you believe this” (John 11:26). The 1,700th Anniversary of the Nicene Creed is also being celebrated. Learn More. An Ecumenical Prayer Service, co-officiated by Bishop David Bard of the United Methodist Church of Michigan, Bishop Earl Boyea of the Catholic Diocese of Lansing, and Bishop Craig Satterlee of the North/West Lower Michigan Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, will take place at University United Methodist (1120 S. Harrison, East Lansing) on Friday, January 17, at 6:30PM. Fellowship and refreshments will follow!
