Ecumenical Worship Service – Thursday, January 23, 2025. You are invited to join Bishop Hee-Soo Jung, our resident bishop of the Ohio Episcopal Area of The United Methodist Church, for prayer and worship at 7 pm on January 23 at Christ Redeemer Lutheran Church (9201 Brecksville Road) in Brecksville.
Laity and clergy of the East Ohio Conference of The United Methodist Church are invited to join our ecumenical partners in a week of Christian unity January 18-25, 2025. This week is a vital expression of our faith and hope in the reconciliation that Jesus offers us all. It reminds us of the beauty and strength of diversity within the Christian family and calls us to work together for justice, peace, and the flourishing of all creation.
This year’s theme, “Do You Believe?” drawn from John 11:26, encourages us to deepen our faith and live-out our shared belief in Jesus Christ, who is the resurrection and the life. In 2025, we also commemorate the 1,700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea, which defined the shared foundations of Christian faith. This milestone invites us to reflect on our common heritage and affirm our unity in the Nicene Creed, a profound declaration of belief that has united Christians across centuries and traditions.
