Week of Prayer brings fruits of the Spirit despite COVID-19

Prayer is a powerful way to be united as Christians from all over the world. Every year my church community in Cuba joins the celebration of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity with daily devotions and a special worship service, usually on Sundays. Being connected in the same prayerful spirit around a common text that turns into so many testimonies of faith is truly a gift of the Spirit and an ecumenical commitment.

Voces de lamento, esperanza y aliento

Semana de oración en tiempos de la pandemia de COVID-19

To commemorate a year since the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the spread of COVID-19 a pandemic, the World Council of Churches provides this resource for a week of prayer.

This book was designed as a resource for use in prayer groups, congregational services, personal prayer, and in the pastoral accompaniment of those directly affected in different ways by the pandemic. The prayers, messages, reflections, statistics and WCC resources have roots in faith challenged by mourning, fear and uncertainty in different contexts worldwide. 

Let us pray together in the time of COVID-19

We pray in lament. We pray for our communities. We pray for our leaders. For protection. For healing.

The World Council of Churches (WCC) will convene a global online prayer service on 26 March at 2 pm (CET) as part of “A Week of Prayer in the Time of the COVID-19 Pandemic.”

دعونا نصلي معاً في زمن كوفيد-19

نحن نصلي في رثاء. نصلي لمجتمعاتنا ولقادتنا ومن أجل الحماية والشفاء.

سيعقد مجلس الكنائس العالمي صلاة عالمية على شبكة الإنترنت يوم 26 آذار/ مارس الساعة 2 ظهراً بتوقيت وسط أوروبا في إطار "أسبوع الصلاة في زمن جائحة كوفيد-19".

Oremos juntos en estos tiempos de COVID-19

Oramos desde el lamento. Oramos por nuestras comunidades. Oramos por nuestros líderes. Por la protección. Por la sanación.

El Consejo Mundial de Iglesias (CMI) celebrará un servicio mundial de oración en línea el 26 de marzo a las 14.00 (hora central europea), en el marco de la semana de oración por la pandemia de COVID-19.

Remembering Patrick Matsinkinyiri (27 July 1937 – 15 January 2021)

Patrick Matsikenyiri was born in Biriri, Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), and died in Mutare, Zimbabwe near his home village a few kilometers from the border of Mozambique, as a result of complications due to the COVID-19 virus. His career included virtually all aspects of church music — singing, choral directing, composition, hymnal editor, festival leader, professor, and enlivener of global songs in venues around the world.
