A prayer for you during the week
A new prayer at the beginning of each week
A Prayer for the People of the United States of America
Let us pray fervently for all our "cousins" in the United States of America. Let us call upon Jesus and implore him to hold their nation in his arms. Let us beseech him for the healing of division, that each person may recognize and acknowledge the worth of the other, and that together all will seek common ground for unity and peace. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Noon Day Prayers on 'Zoom' every Wednesday
Every Wednesday, mid-week and mid-day at noon, a group gathers virtually on Zoom for a few moments of prayer - about 15 minutes
- This time of prayer sets a few moments aside during the routine of the week
- It is simple and contemplative with moments of silence
- Anyone who wishes to join on Zoom is welcome
- It is also available on our Facebook Page
Every Wednesday at 12 Noon
15 minutes of quiet, reflection, and prayer
