Every two months, Anabaptists from around the world gather online to pray together at 14:00 UTC on the third Friday . (That’s morning in the Americas, late afternoon in Africa and Europe and evening across Asia.)
Anabaptist World Fellowship Sunday
Each year, Anabaptist-related churches around the world are encouraged to worship around a common theme on a Sunday close to 21 January, usually the fourth Sunday in January.

Anabaptist World Fellowship Sunday provides an opportunity to remember our common roots and celebrate our worldwide koinonia.
