PRAYER VIGILS FOR
PEACE, JUSTICE & HOPE

“Out of the depths we cry to you, oh, Lord! Lord, hear our cries!”
Psalm 130:1
Our whole community is crying out right now, crying in grief over the death of George Floyd, crying in anger and sadness over injustice and hate, crying in fear and confusion over violence and destruction. Where do we find comfort? How do we come together? Where is healing for our broken community, for the divisions between us and the injustice among us? Lord, what to we do? Lord, hear our cries!
We lift up our cries, our pleas, and our prayers together in two ways:
1) PRAYER VIGIL CONTINUES TO 5PM
Sign up to pray for a half hour in the remaining hours leading up to our time of group prayer for peace, justice and hope.
Follow this link to sign up
and share the blessing of your prayers with our community.
2) PRAYERS FOR PEACE, JUSTICE & HOPE
Saturday, May 30, from 5 - 6 p.m.
I invite you to share in the comfort and hope we know when we come together as God’s people and add your voice to the chorus of prayers for our community.

PENTECOST WORSHIP
Breath of New Life: The Promise of Pentecost
Sunday, May 31: 9:15 a.m. & 10:45 a.m.
Pentecost restores in us that promise that, whatever scary and ugly things may be going on in our world, God is for us. God daily breathes the new life of the spirit in us, and that breath of the Spirit inspires each of us to cry out, “I am here, I am here for good, I am here for God, I am here for you, my neighbor, whoever you are, whatever color you are, wherever you are from, I am here for you, because we are part of the same body of Christ!”
- Please wear something RED to worship at home and send us your photos to kelly@immanuel.us
