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.

For several decades, Hope for New York has partnered with the Redeemer network of churches to galvanize Christians to support our affiliate partners through a special Easter fund.

One Sunday, while running late to church, I made an unspoken New York City faux pas: I locked eyes with a woman lingering by the subway turnstiles.

Have you ever felt like life just pushed you into the ground? Where circumstances were so overwhelming, you not only fall, but you feel crushed under the weight of it all? I have.

Lent is a season spent in the wilderness that leads to strengthened hope and perfect shalom.

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.

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.

On Palm Sunday, follow this prayer written by Mary Beth, our Manager of Mobilization. This prayer will be shared during Palm Sunday services by our church partners.

Sarah Bourns Crosby, Pastor of Formation at Hope Midtown, kindly shared a poem inspired by Good Friday. Make sure to follow the Practice and Prayer sections to reflect on the meaning of sacrifice and love.

We hope you will reflect on and recite this prayer written by Tory, our Manager of Mobilization. This prayer was shared during Palm Sunday services by the Redeemer Presbyterian Church network this year.
