No single event in human history has received more attention than the suffering and crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth.  In this seven-week study, Adam Hamilton will guide us through the last 24 hours of Jesus' life.  Each session of this study is designed to help participants experience and understand the significance of Jesus' suffering and death in a way they may never have done before, whether they are long-time Christians or simply curious about the story of Christ's crucifixion.

 

Join us as we walk through the events of this life-changing day.  Our study begins the week of February 7th.  Join one of our groups.  Click here to learn more, see a list of available groups, and register for a class. 

 

Everyone is welcome and invite a friend!

In God's Hands: The Ecumenical Prayer Cycle

At the very heart of the ecumenical movement is the reality of prayer.  Jesus prayed that we may all be one, united in God in the mystery of the Trinity.  That is the basis and goal of our search for unity. 

From the World Council of Churches (WCC), the Ecumenical Prayer Cycle enables us to journey in prayer through every region of the world and through every week of the year affirming our solidarity with Christians all over the world, brothers and sisters living in diverse situations, experiencing diverse problems, and sharing diverse gifts. 

The WCC is the broadest and most inclusive among the many organized expressions of the modern ecumenical movement, a movement whose goal is Christian unity.  The WCC brings together 349 churches, denominations and church fellowships in more than 110 countries and territories throughout the world, representing over 560 million Christians.

Lord, hear our prayer...
