The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity 2023

The WPCU, Jan. 18-25, is an annual ecumenical celebration, and Christians around Arizona are invited to pray for the unity of all Christians worldwide; to reflect on scripture together, to participate in jointly-organized ecumenical services, and to share fellowship.

The theme for the 2023 celebration is, “Do good; seek justice.” Based on Isaiah 1:12-17, this international theme calls Christians to recognize that the divisions between our churches cannot be separated from the divisions within the wider human family.
