'Week of Prayer for Christian Unity'
2026-01-22 18:30 - 19:30 UTC
From the Ecumenical Catholic Communion:
Dear Friends:
As we conclude the Christmas season, blessings and peace to you in this new year.
For the third year, our regional council is committed to take the initiative to participate in the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity sent out by the World Council of Churches. Our gathering will be mostly on Zoom with leaders from our communities at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, January 22nd. You are also welcome to join us in the sanctuary.
In this time of deep division, now as over the centuries, it is more important than ever to spend time together in prayer with each other, invoking One God to lead us to peace, to enliven us, to give us courage, to bless our hearts with Love for All. Our common ground is much broader than our differences. You are welcome to personally invite friends and neighbors of a variety of traditions to join us. We will also extend an invitation to the members of the Colorado Council of Churches.
You may immerse yourself as deeply as you have interest in the history and context of this year’s ecumenical prayer service created by the Armenian Church. EN 2026 WPCU.pdf With my strong recommendation, the planning team decided that we will pray the service as it was written by our siblings, respecting their tradition and language choices. As ecumenical Catholics, we honor the liturgy of our family in the faith.

Help Us Share the Hope of Resurrection Morning
As the first light of Easter morning touches the red stone cliffs, believers gather in the quiet of dawn to remember the miracle that reshaped all of history. In the stillness, before the sun rises, hearts turn toward the empty tomb and the promise that Christ is risen indeed.
For nearly 80 years, the Colorado Council of Churches has offered this free Easter Sunrise Service, hosting a sacred moment when worship, creation, and the hope of resurrection meet. Here, surrounded by God’s handiwork, thousands lift their voices in praise, seeking renewal, strength, and the presence of the risen Lord.
We need your help to keep this ministry of hope free and open to all. Rising costs make it increasingly difficult to sustain this powerful tradition, and we are prayerfully seeking $35,000 to ensure it continues for generations to come. We ask for minimum gift of $10 to support this worship service. We’re grateful for whatever amount God places on your heart to give.
As a token of our gratitude, donors who contribute $250 or more will receive reserved seating for two and a reserved parking space. With a $500 gift, you will enjoy reserved seating for four and a reserved parking space. These gifts of appreciation are our way of saying thank you for helping make this sacred celebration possible.
If this sunrise has ever stirred your spirit, or if you believe in sharing the hope of the resurrection with the world, we invite you to help sustain this meaningful tradition.
