Week of Prayer for Christian Unity

A joint service for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity will be held in the Abbey Church on Sunday 23rd January at 6pm. All welcome.

The materials for this year have been prepared by the churches of the Middle East, Based on the story of the Magi they are entitled ‘we saw his star in the east’.

Creator of light, illumine our path by the light of Christ who moves before us and leads us. May he be a beacon for our pilgrimage. Enlighten us and dwell within us. Guide us to discover a manger in our hearts where a great light still shines. We thank you for the gift of that unfading Star, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour. Heal our divisions and draw us closer to the Light that we may find our unity in him. Amen.
