The terror and daily atrocities unfolding in Gaza cry out for our steadfast witness. Please take a moment to read the attached pastoral letter from our Bishop, the Right Reverend Poulson Reed. He outlines the urgent needs and the concrete ways we can offer relief. I ask you to join me in responding—through persistent prayer and, where possible, a financial gift designated for Gaza relief. May our shared compassion shine amid the darkness. For Peace Among the Nations Adapted from BCP, p. 816 Almighty God, our heavenly Father, guide the nations of the world into the way of justice and truth, and establish among them that peace which is the fruit of righteousness, especially in the land of Gaza and the surrounding region. Comfort those who mourn, heal the wounded, and protect the innocent from further harm. Turn the hearts of leaders and peoples from violence to mercy, and inspire us all to seek the things that make for peace. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
