prayer

On Palm Sunday, join Mary Beth, our Senior Manager of Volunteer Mobilization, in this Prayers of the People to highlight the hope that our fellow New Yorkers need.

Advent is a season marked by waiting, longing, and anticipation. For many of us, this season may mirror places of longing in our own lives.

'We come before you, giving thanks and praise for your amazing love. This Lenten season, we remember how you came to earth, suffered, died, and rose from the grave, declaring victory over death.'

Lord, we bring before you the needs of the church, the world, and all in need. For those feeling hopeless and wondering, “Where are you, God?”: reveal yourself to us. Come to us in our time of desperation.

'We pray for the communities in need. Be with those without shelter or food, those who are marginalized, and those who are silently hurting.'

What does it really mean to do the right thing in feeding hungry and unhoused neighbors?

Together, on Palm Sunday, let's pray the words that Mary Beth, our Manager of Mobilization, wrote. This year's Prayers of the People will be shared at Palm Sunday services by some of our church partners.

Our friends at Redeemer Lincoln Square recently prayed for men and women experiencing homelessness in our city. 

Reverend Graham Girard recently provided a beautiful prayer at Redeemer Lincoln Square's HFNY Sunday. Here are the words he shared, which you can use to pray as well.

At our Spring Benefit, we asked our attendees and network of supporters to share prayer requests for our city and our affiliate partners. Here are some of the prayers that our supporters shared.
