Prayer for community Holy God, our refuge In whom is our sanctuary, We pray for all people and places caught up in hate filled violent street disorder. We hold before you all who perpetrate violence, All who live in fear of violence, All who work to bring violence to an end. We hold before you all who mourn the loss of life and livelihood resulting from violence. Bring us and the world to always build cultures and communities of humanity, hospitality, healing and hope, where all are welcome, valued, belong equally, and have sanctuary and well-being. Strengthen us to work with you to bring people together to stand with all who are targets of hatred, to dispel misinformation, hatred and fear, to mend hurts, to keep hope alive, to make all things new, and never to tire of seeking justice and peace. In the Name of Christ. Amen. Rev Inderjit Bhogal
