Call to Prayer:

As we move through this week, try to hold this prayer before you:

his is a special prayer for mercy and justice. Gracious and Compassionate God, as the disciples in the boat who were caught in a storm felt endangered and threatened, they sought rescue. We turn to you seeking rescue for those whose futures are in jeopardy. In our United Methodist family there are 46 pastors and families who are caught in the web of bureaucracy that grants visas to foreign-born clergy to study and then serve in churches. We pray for these families who face deportation and for those who make decisions about granting visas, that they may be influenced by the need that exists for Your work in our midst. Send your Spirit into the hearts of those who have the power to grant justice and mercy. In the name of Christ, Amen.
