National Day of Prayer (Bettag / Jeûne Fédéral)National Day of Prayer (Bettag / Jeûne Fédéral)

As a practical way of making Christian unity more visible, the AGCK offers a prayer for use by all churches at celebrations on the National Day of Thanksgiving, Penitence and Prayer in Switzerland, or for incorporation into the normal liturgy of the day.

When prayed aloud in all the churches of the AGCK on Bettag, the prayer provides a small, but significant sign of unity. A demonstration that, in addition to the Lord’s prayer, Christians can pray using the same words.
