Week of Prayer for Christian Unity

The annual Week of Prayer for Christian Unity begins on Friday, Jan. 18, Confession of St. Peter Day. The week — or actually an octave — concludes on Friday, Jan. 25, Conversion of St. Paul Day.

The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity 2019 theme has been selected, and finds its origins in Deuteronomy. “Justice, Only Justice, You Shall Pursue” (Deuteronomy 16:20) was chosen for its powerful message of promoting truth, equality and unity.

During the eight day period, Christians are urged to offer special prayers for unity in the Christian Church.

Salem Evangelical Lutheran Church is a welcoming community of faith in southwest Houston. We welcome everyone, regardless of gender, race, disability, sexual orientation or gender identity. We love Jesus, and we believe Jesus invites us to be people who love, serve and give.

We are biblical, sacramental, liturgical, musical, mission-oriented and community-minded. We are singles, couples and families. We love kids in worship and also welcome people who haven’t been here — or anywhere — in a while.

We are not perfect, but we are redeemed people who love, serve and give together in God’s grace.
