Daily Prayer at 12PM by the People of Grace Fellowship Community Church
This week’s daily prayer for March 6 to March 12 is from Pastor Al.
O God, the masters of war have struck again.
We decry the bombs that are dropping on the Iranian people.
We lament the senseless casualties.
Bring an end to the violence, we pray, for the sake of the children.
May your will be done in the name of the Prince of Peace.
Amen.
Easter Offering
This Easter, we would like to take a special offering for Esther Moses Badung’s (Sunday Agang’s daughter) TRASE (Trauma Resilience and Sustainable Empowerment) Project.
“TRASE is not just a poverty alleviation scheme: it is a holistic initiative that aims to empower individuals and families suffering from trauma, especially trauma resulting from the ongoing Fulani herdsmen kidnapping, attacks and killings, to rebuild their lives,
rediscover their God-given potential, and become agents of positive change.”
You can read more about this project here.
Next Sunday, during service, we will hear more about this project from Esther.

Christ at the Checkpoint Conference, May 26 - May 30 at Bethlehem, Palestine
Christ at the Checkpoint (CATC) is the flagship conference of the Bethlehem Institute for Peace and Justice at Bethlehem Bible College. The conference gathers Christians from around the world to dive deeply into questions of faith, peace, and justice with guidance and teaching from Palestinian Christians. At a dark moment in history, CATC offers a biblically grounded and culturally rich space for honest engagement, faithful discipleship, and global solidarity rooted in Jesus and his teaching. Note that you can attend virtually. In addition, recordings will be available if you do not wish to participate live because of the 9 hour time difference.

“Last week, many of us gathered with friends and family to usher in Lunar New Year, the year of the Fire Horse. And the next day, many Christians around the world showed up at church on Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent and the 40-day journey toward Easter….Similarly, the year began with more state-sanctioned brutality, and even death, of immigrant neighbors and those who choose to stand with them.”
