The Rev. Dr. Munther Isaac
Ascension will host an ecumenical service of prayer for peace in the Holy Land on June 8 at 11:30 am. Our preacher will be the Rev. Dr. Munther Isaac, pastor of the Christmas Lutheran Church in Bethlehem, joining us remotely. This is a wonderful opportunity to hear a powerful Palestinian Christian voice directly! We will welcome colleagues from the Lutheran Church (ELCA), Churches for Middle East Peace, Riverside Church, and others — as well as special music from the oud player of the Armenian band Armadi Tsayn. All are welcome; please join in prayer for peace, justice, security and freedom for all in the land that is holy to so many.

Mother Liz reminds us that care for Creation nourishes our spirits as well as the Earth itself.
