Among our local and global community:

• We pray for peace and compassion throughout the world. Amongst many who find themselves in places of conflict or struggle for justice and peace, we lift up Syria, Palestine and Gaza, Ukraine, those intwined in war in Israel and Russia, in Lebanon, Sudan, Yemen and for those in conflict fighting for justice in Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Somalia, and many other places around the world, including those advocating for the just treatment of the most vulnerable and marginalized here in Tacoma.

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

• Finally, join us in lifting up our Global Ministries partners, this week, in Zimbabwe.
