Christion Unity Ecumenical Prayer Service and Reception January 25, 2015 Sunday evening at 7:00 PM. St. Justin Martyr Parish (11910 Eddie & Park Road, Sunset Hills, MO 63126) At least once a year, Christians are reminded of Jesus prayer for his disciples that they may be one so that the world may believe (see John 17.21). Hearts are touched and Christians come together to pray for their unity. Congregations and parishes all over the world exchange preachers or arrange special ecumenical celebrations and prayer services. The event that touches off this special experience is the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. This year s St Louis Ecumenical service is being held at our very own St Justin Martyr Parish. This year we will be honored to have the presence of three denominations under one roof, preaching together the word of God. Roman Catholic St Louis Archbishop Robert J. Carlson, St Louis Episcopal Bishop Wayne Smith and a representative from the ELCA Lutheran Central States Synod Bishop Roger R. Gustafson. All faiths are welcome and encouraged to attend this amazing prayer event and reception. Sponsored by the Office of Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs
