Northeast Valley Consortium presents online interfaith prayer gathering: Hope in a Troubled World

The Northeast Valley Consortium is hosting "Hope in a Troubled World," an interfaith prayer gathering, on Wednesday, 10/26/2022 at noon MST/PDT, 1pm MDT. Email HopeInOurWorldNow@gmail.com to register and receive the Zoom link.

Is your heart heavy with all the things that are going on? Experience “Hope in a Troubled World.” In this virtual zoom community, bringing people of different perspectives together to share stories of hope and inspiration.

War, hunger, poverty, genocide…the troubles of this world are incomprehensible.  We struggle to carry on in hope and wonder what we can do to make the world a better and safer place for all people. Answers are not easily found, but we believe that possibilities abound when we come together.  

You are invited to an Interfaith Prayer Gathering to recognize our common humanity and our desire for a better world.  We will hear from faith leaders who have experienced hope in the most surprising places and learn how we can be more active partners in healing the wounds of a broken world.
