A prayer for Jesus' friends.

Reading No. 2

"An Appeal to Womanhood Throughout the World" by Julia Ward Howe (Selected Poems)

 

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 family and friends of 16 students who died in Kashmir3
• Zabia Afzal, who is missing and last seen in Toronto
• The family, friends and victims of Juan Costillo, who is set to be executed by the State of Texas on March 16
• To everybody for whom Mother's Day is painful and complicated
