Prayer Vigil : Covid Relief for Families
Join us for prayer and witness during a 12 hour interfaith vigil. We will be lifting up the impact of the pandemic and economic downturn and the consequences of congressional inaction. Faith leaders from a variety of denominations and faith traditions will speak, lead prayers, urge people to advocate and take action, read stories of individuals who will be most harmed by these cuts, and lead moments of worship. Among all the other activities going on, we will be a distinctly prophetic voice on the Capitol.
