  Epixel* for March 31, 2013

 

They shall build houses
and inhabit them; they shall plant
vineyards and eat their fruit. They shall
not build and
another inhabit; they shall not plant and another eat;
for like
the days of a tree shall the days of my people be,
my chosen shall long enjoy
the work of their hands.
–Isaiah 65:21-22

Common Lectionary readings.

Prayers for Peacemakers, March 27, 2013

Jesus, let the blood of
the brutalized, the sweat of the threatened and widows’ tears lubricate love,
awaken zeal and resurrect humanity, that we may confront people and systems that — in robbing, terrorizing and uprooting Lilia and millions of Colombians — are persecuting
you.

See Lilia’s Story.

Consider going to Colombia on a delegation.

Septermber Supper Fundraiser

Will you host a dinner party for CPT?

CPT really needs your support in raising $10k in September. Unfortunately, we are behind our financial targets and need your help. We want to dedicate the month of September to bringing people together around the dinner table. You can choose the date, who you invite and what you cook (though our teams have some great recipes prepared!) We’d love to hear if you’d be interested. 

There’s no commitment needed at this stage.

I'm interested
