World Council of Churches  (WCC)

The World Council of Churches (WCC) invites people and churches all over the world to pray, advocate, and stand in solidarity with people in the Holy Land during the World Week for Peace in Palestine and Israel. The week includes the UN International Day of Peace on 21 September.

Theme for 2024: "Whatever you did…you did for me” (Matthew 25:40), based on the larger context of Matthew 25:35-40.

For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me. 

The theme speaks to the devastating situation of Palestinians in Gaza after so many months of war.
