As we seek God in this time of turmoil and crisis, we hope you will continue with us in fervent prayer for the needs of the world and especially for all injustice in our world both home and abroad.
In a recent message, Archbishop Foley Beach writes, "If ever there is a time for the people of God to fall on our faces before God and plead for his mercy and intervention, now is the time. As believers, we are given the privilege of coming to the Throne of Grace with our petitions and requests, and he promises to hear us (1 John 5:14,15)."
Blessings,
