Our prayers examine scripture and support our response in a prayerful and reflective way. Ansai leads Evening and Morning Prayer this week. Evening Prayer – Ansai asks us to still ourselves and turn our thoughts to the day that’s drawing to an end…

We pray for world peace and for the people of Ukraine, and of Russia. We ask for wise decision-making and the moral integrity of all world leaders in the face of evil – most especially this night.
