Week of Prayer for Christian Unity

Every year, January 18-25 is the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity.  Worldwide churches and individuals join together to pray for peace and unity in the body of Christ.  It brings up some interesting points for reflection . . .

How many churches do you think are in Lancaster City?  (See an incomplete list here http://www.lancasterpa.com/churches.shtml)

What do we at Christ Lutheran share in common with other churches around?

How can we pray for other Christians and work together?

Have you often had discussions with friends who are Christians about what you have in common though you may not attend the same church?

This year's week of prayer is focused around Jerusalem . . . how can we in Lancaster keep in prayer the Christians and people of all faiths living in and around Jerusalem?
