Prayers for Peacemakers, August 26,
2015
   Europe 

Pray for the refugee children on Lesvos who
must walk for hours in the heat, sleep in the port where there are no toilets,
showers or dry clothes, and wait with their mother for long hours for
documents. Pray that hearts will be opened and that they will soon have a place that they can call home.

 *Epixel for Sunday, August 30, 2015 
Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father,
is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress, and
to keep oneself unstained by the world. James 1:27
*epixel: a snapshot-epistle to the churches related to and appearing
 with a text  from the upcoming Sunday’s 
Revised Common Lectionary 
readings.
