We pray for relief from fires, damaging storms, climate change problems, and crises.
We pray for the people struggling for freedom, peace and justice; for places torn by conflict, famine and violence. As we continue to pray for the people of Afghanistan, we give thanks for peacemakers, negotiators, soldiers, and first responders.
We pray for God’s direction for our country - and all the nations of the world - especially on the upcoming 20th anniversary of 9/11.
We pray for those who grieve, struggle and suffer as infections caused by the Delta variant of COVID-19 are on the rise especially among the unvaccinated in country. We pray for exhausted medical staff who care for the sick; for wisdom to do the right thing to protect the wellbeing of all in our communities; for people in countries with no access to the vaccine.
