WE REMEMBER IN PRAYER


We remember Korean Good Shepherd Presbyterian Church, Rowland Heights, in our Prayers of the People this week.


~~~~~~


We pray for our immigrant

brothers and sisters—


May hardened hearts grow tender,

wounds begin to heal,

and broken families find their

way back to one another.


Let our communities rise—

offering shelter, dignity, and a future.

May justice roll like a mighty river,

and mercy never run dry.
