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...

This service embodies the sharp contrasts of Holy Week.  In the entrance with palms, led by the children, we share the excitement of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem which is reflected in joyful music.  As the service continues we move into the reading of portions of the Passion narrative, transitioning us into the somber period of Holy Week, also reflected in the music provided by the Chancel Choir.

On this night Christians recall the last supper Jesus shared with his disciples, when Jesus washed the disciples' feet and instituted the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper.  Through the proclamation of the Word, confession and pardon, and Holy Communion, we will share in this powerful event.  Our worship will be enhanced by the Chancel Choir's singing, which will be woven throughout this 90-minute service.

Scripture:  Isaiah 52:13-53:12; Psalm 22; Hebrews 10:16-25; John 18:1-19:42
