Prayers for Peacemakers, 28 August 2013

Pray that the Israeli High Court will render just decisions
on 2 September 2013 when it decides whether the Israeli military can evict
hundreds of families from their homes in the South Hebron Hills, and whether
settlers can take over the Rajabi building in Hebron.

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
