Prayers for Peace and Justice | Led by Kate Overton and Hannah Webster Brown
Monday, November 27th | 6:30-7:30pm | Library at Free Methodist

Inspired by the faith and faithfulness of our sisters and brothers around the world who are praying in the face of oppression—we invite members of the Free Methodist community and beyond to join in monthly prayer for those caught up in systemic oppression, injustice, conflict and violence: for victims and perpetrators alike, and for those working to bring healing. 

Our service is simple and brief, based loosely on the widely-used evening liturgical prayer service, and including elements from faith communities around the world. Within the structure of song, scripture, corporate prayer, and silence, there is also space for spontaneity and individual expression. It can be easy to feel like faithful prayer has no evident impact on ending violence or redressing injustice. But we pray in hope nevertheless, confident that God is at work in the world, including within and through those of us gathered. God’s kingdom has broken out in the world, and its consummation will come.
