WE REMEMBER IN PRAYER
We remember Knox Presbyterian Church, Pasadena, in our Prayers of the People this week, along with prayers for peace in the Middle East.
| And on this one-year anniversary of the killing and abduction of thousands of individuals in Israel, we pray fervently for the return of hostages, the cessation of violence across the Middle East, and comfort for the countless number of families who grieve loved ones and who lost homes in Gaza, in the West Bank, across Israel and throughout the Middle East. | |
