Ecumenical Prayer Service

Knox is pleased to be the host church for this year's Ecumenical Service of Prayer and Worship. 

Sponsored by the Christian Council of the Capital Area (CCCA), this service is part of the Annual Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, and this year’s theme developed by Caribbean Christians for church’s around the globe is “Liberation from Bondage” is from Exodus 15.  

To apply the theme of "Liberation from Bondage" to local issues, various local social justice ministries have been invited to participate, including: 

• The Ottawa Mission
• Cornerstone Housing for Women
• Centretown Churches Social Action Committee
• Ottawa Mennonite Refugee Association
• Multi-Faith Housing Initiative.   

Guest speaker is Rev. Ken McLaren, from Ottawa Innercity Ministries.  

Worship will be led by the Knox Choir, a local Children’s Choir and musicians from the Sacred Space university gathering co-sponsored by Knox and the Ottawa Christian Reformed Campus Chaplaincy.  

Consider joining hands and hearts with us to pray for liberation from bondage!
