I do not nullify the grace of God; 
for if justification comes through the law,
then Christ died for nothing.    -Gal. 2:21

Prayers for Peacemakers, June 12, 2013

Pray for Mi’kmaq and Maliseet people and their allies in New Brunswick, protesting seismic testing and plans for fracking with its threat of contaminated land, water and air.  Pray for courage among supporters, safety for activists, and a good mind for police.
