Daily Prayer at 12PM by the People of Grace Fellowship Community Church
This week’s daily prayer for February 6 to February 12 is from Caroline Kennedy
Our Heavenly Father,
We are sad, angry, and traumatized by what we see and hear on the news.
Like the Psalmist, "Out of our depths, we cry out, Lord hear our prayers."
Deliver us from our feeling of helplessness and make us instruments of your healing.
Because nothing escapes your sight, we place our trust in you.
Bless your name, O Lord.
Amen
Palestine Group
Randy Chang shared last week at our family meeting about the formation of the “Palestine Group.” The group formed after we attended the Church at the Crossroads – Conference for Christians Committed to Peacemaking in September 2025. Kevin and Judy Flora attended in person; Shane Chao, Randy and Charlotte Chang, Caroline Kennedy, Jensa Woo and Al Tizon attended virtually. After the conference, we met to debrief about what we had heard.
Now we meet bi-monthly to share stories, resources and pray about what is happening in Palestine.
Here is a short video, Sermon to the West, from Munther Isacc (author of Christ in the Rubble) which is one resource that is available to us. If you would like to have more information or join in our meetings, please contact any of the people mentioned.

Deeper Dive Zoom Link
Meeting ID: 825 9666 9506
Passcode: 728637
Questions to Consider for the Deeper Dive
1. How were you made aware of God’s presence this past Sunday—perhaps through a song, the sermon, communion, a conversation with someone at coffee hour, etc.?
2. What in the sermon particularly inspired, encouraged, or challenged you?
3. Beyond Sundays, in what ways has your worship experience been impacting your relationship with God, neighbor (near and far), and/or yourself?
Contact Pastor Al or Randy Chang if you have any questions.
Community Events
Faithful Protest Chat
Members and friends of our congregation who want to stay informed about local justice actions are invited to join the secure and private Signal chat. Many protests and witness events come together quickly, and this group helps us share updates and coordinate participation in vigils, marches, and rallies, as well as share photos with the group afterwards.
