Ecumenical Prayer Service in observance of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, Sunday January 22nd, 4 PM, at First Nazarene Church of Oklahoma City, 4400 Northwest Expressway.

Speakers are Rev. Floyd Schoenhals – Bishop Emeritus of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and Sister Diane Koorie, RSM – Director of the Pastoral Ministry Program of the Catholic Archdiocese of Oklahoma City.

Father Stephen Bird, president of the Oklahoma Alliance for Liturgy and the Arts, which sponsors the service,, said, “Our service this year is especially important in that 2017 marks the commemoration of the 500th anniversary of the beginning of the Reformation era. Recent ecumenical events between the two church bodies (the Roman Catholic and the Lutheran Churches) remind us that we are called to Reconciliation, for the Love of Christ Compels Us to work for unity and peace in the Church. The goal of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is to pray for the unity that Christ wills by whatever means he wills it.”
