A Call to Prayer and Support for the People of Waukesha
From Bishop Hee-Soo Jung: "Today I invite our siblings in Christ to a time of prayer for the people of Waukesha. May we remember in prayer those who grieve, those recovering, community leaders, our responder community, and the spiritual leadership of our congregations, as well as our ecumenical and interfaith partners. We lift parents and teachers and all who plant seeds of meaning in the face of tragedy. These are days to increase the neighborliness of the gospel as we learn more details of the tragedy that took place during their Christmas parade. As families gather this week, may prayers at our table give thanks for our God and seek the Shalom for which we wait."
