KUCHING, July 17: The Association of Churches in Sarawak (ACS) Samarahan Branch will organise the Sarawak Day Ecumenical Prayer Service 2025 on July 21 (Monday) at 8pm, hosted at St Francis Church, Kota Samarahan.
In a statement today, organising chairman Pr Cliff Bidi said the event is a collaborative effort involving various churches in Kota Samarahan, aimed at uniting Christians in a shared voice of prayer, seeking God’s blessings, peace, and protection over Sarawak.

Themed “Seeking Peace Through God’s Grace”, this year’s prayer service will focus on the importance of spiritual unity, hope, and social responsibility in building a peaceful, prosperous, and blessed Sarawak.
The programme will feature prayers, scripture readings, and reflections led by representatives from the different churches under ACS Samarahan Branch. In addition, the service will celebrate Sarawak’s rich cultural and linguistic diversity, with prayers, readings, and music delivered in multiple languages.
Among the key prayer points include for continued unity and harmony among Christians in upholding religious freedom, justice, liberty, political stability, unity, and social inclusivity.
Prayers will also be offered to the leadership of Sarawak, asking for God’s guidance to grant the leaders wisdom, courage, and justice in leading the State.
The prayer service will include prayers for economic progress, asking for God’s continued blessings on Sarawak’s economy, especially in fulfilling the goals of the Post Covid-19 Development Strategy (PCDS) 2030.
There will be prayers for reconciliation and cooperation, with the hope of fostering stronger relationships between churches and communities, so that they may work together to bring healing, unity and hope to all people.
