World Refugee Day Ecumenical Worship Service |
|
June 20 is World Refugee Day.
UCC Refugee and Migration Ministries, in collaboration with the Presbyterian Church USA, the Mennonite Central Committee, and the Disciples of Christ, will host a live, ecumenical online worship service on June 1, 2:00 PM Eastern. We'll make the recording and related resources available to local congregations to share on June 20 or another day of their choice. This service will include litanies, prayers, and reflections on global mass migration and bring us together to inspire in us a faithful and loving response.

This might appear underneath YouTube's auto-transcriptions, too. Currently, the transcriptions do not support multiple languages at a time, so some words will be transcribed phonetically. Closed captions are not 100% accurate, so please forgive any inaccurate transcriptions. The Wednesdays with the World webinar series will be highlighting the ways in which the quest for justice is intersectional and global, allowing UCC members greater opportunities for increased awareness of global concerns and highlighting options for advocacy and action. |
