We pray for the 800
commissioners to the 220th General Assembly of Presbyterian Church
USA who are currently meeting in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to discuss, among
other things, a resolution to dissolve PCUSA’s relationship with companies that
directly benefit from the Israeli occupation of Palestine. We pray the outcome
of the debate brings us step closer to justice and peace. Lord in your mercy…
We rejoice that—for
the first time in a long time—the Christian clergy and wives from the West Bank
will be able to join clergy and their wives who are Palestinian citizens of
Israel for a trip near Haifa on July 9th. Together, the group will
have some time of reflection, visit the depopulated Palestinian village of Ein
Hod, and engage in ecumenical conversation.
We pray for a wonderful time of conversation and spiritual refreshment.
Lord in your mercy…
We pray for the
Birzeit Convention in California this weekend. Both FOSNA Program Coordinator
Don Wagner and Sabeel director Naim Ateek will speak. We are grateful for the
way that the Birzeit Convention gathers Palestinians in the diaspora to
recognize and strengthen their connection to the Palestine town of Birzeit, and
the whole region. Lord in your mercy…
We are grateful for the beginning of Sabeel’s
7th Young Adult conference hosted by Sabeel Jerusalem. We pray for a
safe and meaningful experience for all 30 participants, staff, and the many
people they will encounter throughout the journey. We also give thanks for the ongoing youth
programs of Sabeel Nazareth, as they are having a meeting and a visit to a
Special Education Foundation this weekend. Lord in your mercy…
With the World Council of Churches, we
specifically pray for the churches and population of Bolivia, Chile, and Peru.
Lord in your mercy…
