We have been talking at St John’s about creating home altars to bring our worship more fully into our homes, at this time of less contact directly with the church sanctuary and space. One way to bring prayer to our altar is to join a 9-day prayer practice for the upcoming election.

Forward Movement and The Episcopal Church Office of Government Relations are calling Episcopalians and all others to join in A Season of Prayer: For an Election.

“We come together, asking God for courage and wisdom, thanking God for love and joy. As we move toward the election of leaders for the United States, may we all join in a season of prayer, committing to offer to God our fears and frustrations, our hopes and dreams.”

Starting October 27 and continuing through the day after the election, A Season of Prayer invites us to pray for the election of leaders in the United States.
