In 1997 the National Council of Churches in Korea designated the week that includes June 25 (the beginning date of the Korean War) as a “National Reconciliation Week” and since then observed it to overcome the tragedy of fratricidal war and pray for national reconciliation and peaceful reunification. Since the June 15 South-North Joint Declaration in 2000, the NCCK has observed it on June 15-25 every year.

As we commemorate the 70th anniversary of Korean War and pray for the nation’s reconciliation, peace and co-existence, we share a sermon, a prayer, a testimony and a solidarity message that you may use as good worship resources for the National Reconciliation Week. Please use them for Sunday worship, Wednesday gatherings and bible study meetings during the National Reconciliation Week.

Resource material is prepared in Korean and English.
