A Season of Prayer: For an Election & For All the Saints
We invite you to our next Prayer Challenge, A Season of Prayer: For an Election and for all the Saints.
Joining with Episcopalians around the country, we will participate in “A Season of Prayer: For an Election” from Forward Movement October 29-November 6. We will also share a second prayer each day that points us to the richness of All Saints Day—remembering those who have gone before, celebrating a renewal of our Baptismal Vows, and more. Finally, there will be opportunities for in-person prayer, worship, and more over the nine days.
Each day, those who subscribe will receive an email message with a prayer about the election, and a prayer connected to All Saints’ Day. Combining these two themes is a poignant reminder of our Christian Hope, grounded in our responsibility to be a voice of Hope for all people in our own day and age. If you received our Fall Prayer Challenge emails, you are already subscribed; if not, look in our weekly updates and on our website for the subscription information. if you wish to unsubscribe for this challenge, please e-mail Fr. Ben so he can adjust the email list accordingly.
