Our Response to COVID-19
We all need prayer and support during ordinary times, but as we are in uncertain times with the Coronavirus, we need it even more. So we offer reflections, spiritual practices, online groups, the opportunity to share prayer requests of those you want us to hold in prayer, with the hope that they meet you where you are and offer solace during this time.
