Mission Week: October 21st to October 28th

Thank you to everyone who participated in our fundraising activities with our students on Friday as part of our Mission Day. It is all appreciated as the moneys raised will be used in our community to assist those in need.

An Urgent Prayer for Peace

God of compassion,

We turn to you with heavy hearts

As we consider the needs of your family.

Israelis and Palestinians, we are all your people,

Each of us loved by You

And called to live in peace and justice.

We lament the dreadful loss of life,

Destruction of property and loss of human dignity.

We are pained by so much suffering.

We beg you to bring healing to this ancient place.

Help your people find a way forward.

Enable everyone to look each other in the eye,

And embrace each other as sisters and brothers,

As they find your image in every face.

We ask that courage and grace

Will help create a wiser and more gentle future,

Where everyone has a home.

God of wisdom, come to our aid.

Amen.
