Week of Prayer for Christian Unity 18-25th January 2026

Each January, Christians around the world join in the Week of Prayer for Christian Unityโ€”a time to pray, reflect, and work together for the unity Christ desires for his Church. Rooted in Jesusโ€™ prayer โ€œthat they may all be oneโ€ (John 17:21), this week invites churches of all traditions to gather in shared worship and witness. Itโ€™s a powerful reminder that, despite our differences, we are united in Christโ€™s love and called to walk together in faith. This year the theme is based upon Paul's words in Ephesians 4:1-3.For more information see: https://ctbi.org.uk/resources/week-of-prayer-for-christian-unity-2026/#wpcu2026
