Being Sanctuary

Practice Generosity

Submit Your Prayer Requests

Sunday, September 22, 10 am Sunday Circle @ Sanctuary UCC "Y'All Keep Praying"

Instructions on Worship - 1 Timothy 2:1-7 Prayer is part of living faithfully as citizens of God’s realm. God’s people are called to pray for peace and justice for all people. What does it mean to pray in Jesus’ name for leaders? How might prayerful living strengthen us to work for justice, even as we pray for God’s shalom? How Shall we Pray? Let's Talk!

Prayer for the 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time Just and loving God, open our imaginations to catch your vision of all people living together in wholeness and harmony. Strengthen our leaders to work for justice and peace, so that all people may be brought to live in your reign of shalom. Amen.
