Among our local and global community:
We lift up those recovering from natural disasters in the United States and around the world. We lift up those struggling to combat a resurgence of wildfires in Southern California, and for those who are faced with the effects of poor air quality.
We pray for peace throughout the world. For an end to violence in all its forms, including those perpetuated in the guise of national interest. We pray for Palestine and Gaza, for those intwined in war in Lebanon, Sudan, Yemen, for Ukraine, Russia, for those in conflict fighting for justice in Bangladesh, for Afghanistan, Somalia, and in many more places around the world.
We pray for the village on 6th and Orchard, and for those who find themselves without shelter.
We pray for our Global Ministry partners, this week, in East Timor.
