We join the church in prayer and response for those impacted and displaced by the fires in Southern California and for those who have perished in them. Please pray with us and look to Episcopal Relief and Development as well as Episcopal News Service for more updates. If you would like to make a donation, please write “fire relief” in the memo line of your gift. Almighty God, who is our strength and our refuge; be with those who are besieged by fire, guide those who evacuate so that they may find care and comfort in a safe place; protect their homes and their pets, their neighbors and their friends, so that they may return home to a loving community. We ask this in the name of Jesus your son, who abides with you and with the Holy Spirit. Amen. |
