Among our local and global community:

• We pray for the world, and for all who live in harm's way, including, but not limited to Iran, Gaza, Ukraine, Somalia, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Taiwan, Afghanistan and Venezuela. We pray for moral righteousness to imbue the souls and minds of our leaders, as well all of us who have agency to make meaning of the world around us; for the power of love to overcome our very human love of power.

• We lift up Minneapolis and all who dwell in fear, counted among the unwelcome in this land by the government, may we count them among the welcome with our actions of solidarity and peacemaking. We pray for those advocating for the marginalized among us, most especially for those vulnerable and afraid.

• For the village on 6th and Orchard and for those who find themselves without shelter.

• And last but not least, we lift up our Global Ministries Partners this week in Bangladesh
