"We will nurture relations that are kind, just, respectful and inclusive among each other..."(Chapter Statement)
God of Love,
We are thankful for the work that has been done to secure a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas and pray that it may be implemented and lead to a lasting peace in the region.
With grateful hearts we celebrate the promised release of all those held against their will and pray for their recovery and recuperation as they are reunited with family and friends.
We pray that we never see such death and destruction in this region again.
May justice reign, justice that establishes peace, promotes hope, frees people from fear, encourages neighbours to love one another and brings an end to the seemingly endless cycle of injustice, violence and death in the region.
This we ask in the power of your spirit, Amen.
