As we approach the celebration of the 250th Anniversary of the founding of the United States of America, we are called to both honor the revolutionary legacy of our forefathers and reaffirm our commitment to seek an ever more perfect union in our nation.
In this spirit, you are invited to attend this year’s Juneteenth Ecumenical Prayer Service which will take place on Friday, June 19th at 11am at Saint Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church and National Shrine located at 130 Liberty Street New York, NY.
With the blessing of His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros of America, we offer this ecumenical prayer service in commemoration of the end of slavery in the United States and for the healing of our nation from the wounds of slavery, segregation, and discrimination.
We hope that you will join us in prayer and fellowship as we lift up our voices to God for healing, reconciliation, and justice in our nation and throughout the world.
