week of prayer for
christian unity
2009
Reconcile Your People
Ezekiel 37:15-28
God spoke to the Prophet Ezekiel and said "they shall be one in my hand...They will be my people and I shall be their God".
And so we pray:
We pray to you for the unity of all Christians
According to your will,
According to your means,
May your Spirit enable us to experience the suffering caused by division
To see our sin and to hope beyond all hope.
God, you alone are our hope
You alone are our hope
Each year the theme for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is developed by one country which produces outline material that is adapted for use in other parts of the world.
Korea is the selected country for 2009 and they have chosen Ezekiel 37.15-28 and have prepared material to be adapted for local use.
The Four Nations Writers Group for Churches Together in Britain and Ireland has adapted this material and those resources will be available soon.
The material will be available as a free download from these pages and the worship service can also be purchased in published format:

Resources for Pray Without Ceasing, the theme for 2008, are still available for download.
