Love for the World
Part of each episode of the Living Presence Podcast will feature a section where we lift up people and places who can use our alliance, our attention and some hope. (If you are from a United Church, this would be similar to "Prayers of the People" or "Prayers of Thanksgiving and Intercession").
The idea and our hope are that listeners from all over can send in the people and places they would like to bring to our attention, and I would love it if YOU would consider sending something in to be aired. You can either a) record something with the voice recorder app on your phone and email it to hi@livingpresenceministry.org OR b) call 289-903-0019 and leave a voicemail OR c) Leave a written comment and I will read it on the air.
THIS WEEK WE LIFT UP:
The victims, their families and friends, of the mass shooting in Parkland, Florida
People who are grieving loss
Those affected by sexual violence, sexism, etc.
Those who are survivors of suicide
The people of East Gwillimbury
The Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nations
The athletes from North Korea
The families and communities of Colten Boushie and Tina Fontaine
Those who are fighting for their communities to access fresh drinking water
The Community of East Weymouth Congregational Church in Massachusetts who is fighting Enbridge right now
