11/9/08 - English

We pray for the government of Israel. As the elections come close for new leadership, we pray for a leader who is committed to working for peace for all peoples in the land - both in Palestine and Israel.

We pray for the Muslim community in Palestine, Israel, Israel, and around the world, during the fasting month of Ramadan. We especially pray for the safety of the local community on Fridays as security measures and aggressiveness of Israeli soldiers intensify while people try and access the Haram ash-Sharif.

We pray for the local community building program this weekend who will be attending the festival of the ascension of the cross. We pray for spiritual renewal and strengthening of relationships among them. 


We pray for the international theological consultation on Israel/Palestine that will be held this week in Bern, Switzerland, Switzerland by the World Council of Churches. We pray for member churches to commit themselves to responding ecumenically and ethically to the situation in Palestine and Israel.
