Weekly Prayer List
There has been no more important a time than now for us to unite
in the fervor of prayer for the state of the Union

  • We remember all who are protesting against racial injustice
  • For a commitment to peaceful protest and humane and sensitive policing
  • For a respect for and protection of private property during peaceful demonstrations
  • For an identification and containment of anarchist elements seeking to hijack peaceful protest
  • For those victimized by racial violence - both the violence of actions but also the violence of words
  • For those whose fears of racial reconciliation have been inflamed by false narratives and toxic rhetoric
  • For the reform of our police forces and a rejection of increasing police militarization

Gracious Lord, let us truly open our ears and hearts to listen to and embrace the cry for justice for our black brothers and sisters. For once, Lord, let us be truly present to the guilt of our white privilege and pledge ourselves to work tirelessly for the banishment in our communities of the scourge of racial fear and oppression.
