This evening ushers in Rosh HaShanah for our Jewish neighbors, marking the beginning of the new year and the first of ten high holy days in the Jewish tradition. We wish all our Jewish neighbors a good and sweet Rosh HaShanah.

LET US PRAY, TOGETHER. O God, where hearts are fearful, grant courage and hope. Help us to elect trustworthy leaders, participate in wise decisions for our common life and serve our neighbors. Bless those we elect, that our nation may grow toward peace; through Jesus Christ. Amen

Pray with us. 🙏 #Prayer
