To celebrate Christian Unity Week an Ecumenical Service will be held in St Columba’s Church, Tullow on Friday, 22nd January at 8.00 pm. Christian Unity week is celebrated from January 18th—25th. It’s a celebration of ecumenism, liturgy and similarity between the Christian churches.
The theme for this year is “You are witnesses to these things” and is taken from chapter 24 of the gospel of Luke. The Christians at that time were living with the trauma of the Jewish– Roman war and the destruction of Jerusalem and it’s temple. Yet, in the midst of all this, the followers of Jesus were being called to witness to his life, death and resurrection.
In the challenging uncertain times we live in, we too are called to witness to the hope of the Gospel and to build up a Christian community based on the compassion and love of Jesus.
