The Christian Council of the Capital Area is inviting you to an ONLINE 4-part thematic Bible Study based on the Week of Prayer of Christian Unity 2024 resources. Each session will be led by volunteer leaders from our diverse denominations representing the member churches and traditions of the Christian Council.

SCHEDULE

(The "day" indicates the "day" in the resource document.)

• January 16 (Day 1 and 3) – David Sherwin, President of CCCA and Teresa Burnett-Cole, Coordinating Minister at Glebe-St. James United Church.

• January 23 (Day 4 and 5) – John Perkin, Pastor of First Baptist and Karen Dimock, Pastor of St Andrew's Presbyterian Church

• January 30 (Day 7 and 8) – TBA

• February 6 (Day 2 and 6) – Matthew Brunet, Ecumenical Office of Catholic Archdiocese of Ottawa and Tim Kehoe, Priest of St Thomas the Apostle Anglican church

How we read, hear, and interpret the Bible is affected by the context of our own lives and communities.

The materials for the 2024 Week of Prayer for Christian Unity were prepared by an ecumenical team from Burkina Faso facilitated by the local Chemin Neuf Community (CCN)

Theme: “You shall love the Lord your God ... and your neighbour as yourself” (Lk 10:27).

Brothers and sisters from the Catholic Archdiocese of Ouagadougou, Protestant Churches, ecumenical bodies, and the CCN in Burkina Faso collaborated generously in drafting the prayers and reflections and experienced their work together as a real path of ecumenical conversion.
