The United Methodist Church has an ongoing commitment to end racism.

06/16/2020

🙏 Tonight at 7 p.m., all pastors in the conference have been asked to lead their congregations in a time of prayer in solidarity to end systemic racism and for change in our country. Is your church participating? Let us know below with the name of your church and city.

If your church is able, would you livestream your vigil as a witness to your community? A livestream in this situation could be as simple as taking the video with your phone. When posting about this time of prayer on social media, please use both and so we can connect our movement with the larger connection and with each other across the Great Plains.

We believe that if we can all come together with all races that we can be a part of the solution for change.

Prayer of the day

God, you ask us to open up our eyes to faith. You ask us to see the possibility of liberation and justice all around us. You ask us to look into ourselves to find the glory that is within – the glory that is you – and to be confident that this glory is within the masses, pulling us toward a new world. We believe – help our unbelief.
