AntiRacism Board Prayer Meeting

Join the antiracism prayer meeting that we host by Zoom on the 1st Monday and 3rd Thursday of the month at 7:15 pm.

This prayer meeting is a drop in gathering of people from around the New England Synod who believe in the power of prayer and community to break down the barriers of racism in the church. We join together to pray - individually out loud or collectively in silence - with the hope of calling upon the Holy Spirit to form us into God’s beloved community.
