In the midst of all the smoke and pops from last week’s celebration, we got to see little glimpses of what it’s like when we all get along. Let’s pray for more of that this week…

We’re expectant the day is coming when people everywhere get to celebrate together the freedom found in God–that they can do it without fear or suspicion that someone has it out for them. We are expectant that God is leading us toward that day. So even in the midst of backwards steps, in the face of hatred and violence, we trust that God is acting. We lean into God’s action through prayer… will you join me?

Spring is a season of life. It’s a season of celebration. This week we pray about what we see happening THIS spring… where see much separation and human sickness.

Lifting up the concerns of the people for the week of April 12. May God’s will be done.
