SAVE THE DATE - Saturday, January 24 from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM

Growing in Christian unity and the care for God’s creation, we gather in prayer and action for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity (WPCU) at Saint Gregory the Illuminator Armenian Apostolic Church, 6700 W. Diversey Avenue, Chicago.

This ecumenical prayer service will be grounded in the WPCU theme “There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling” (Ephesians 4:4). This reflects the mission of EMC that “seeks to engage all the baptized, their communions and extended ministries in Chicagoland in living together with prayer, action and a coordinated voice that respects distinctions among traditions and extends God’s love through Christ and the Holy Spirit, for all the world.”

At the closing of the service, EMC judicatories will sign joint statements of actions which are grounded in EMC’s Declaration to care, protect and preserve God’s gift of creation, for all of the earth is the Lord’s. (Psalm 24:1). The two statements proclaim our Christian resolve to Protect Children, Grandchildren, Future Generations by Adopting Climate Change Mitigating Strategies and Protect Children, Grandchildren, Future Generations by Providing Clean, Safe Drinking Water. These statements are a clear public witness of EMC’s Declaration that “taking decisive restorative action is a moral and religious imperative.”
