Please join me in prayer.

For all in harms away this evening as an active shooter is at large near Brown, we pray for God’s protection.
For those who are afraid this evening, we pray for God’s comfort.
For politicians who have chosen evil policies that they know lead to tragic events like this, we pray that they would repent.
We pray these things through Christ, Amen.

I hope that wherever you are, you and your loved ones are safe tonight. Peace, Pastor T. J.

Hi All, I thought you might be interested to see this news about our denomination. The title of the article isn't exactly catchy. But it is about the PCUSA signing on to a lawsuit that would restore churches as places of sanctuary. Hope you're having a great week. -Pastor T.J.

The Rev. Jihyun Oh, Stated Clerk and Executive Director of the Interim Unified Agency, joined with other national faith leaders to speak out for the PC(USA) through the General Assembly in support of the sanctuary movement in a media release published by Sojourners on February 6.
