| First Presbyterian will open our sanctuary tomorrow, Election Day, November 5, from 10:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. for anyone who wishes to come and pray. You may enter through the front doors (up the steps) from Main Street or from the rear parking lot, through the foyer; use the elevator if handicapped. |
| ELECTION DAY PRAYER God of all nations, on this Election Day, we pray for our diverse and divided nation. Like a downed power line, we are charged with anger, anxiety and fear. We wait, thrashing and threatening, as results come in … vote by vote, state by state, seat by seat. God, we fear rioting and violence. God, we pray for justice and peace. God, be with us. Be with the poll workers, the politicians, the clerks and the deputies. On this long and exhausting day, may our polls be places of courtesy, the dignity of each voter respected. May our polls be places of safety, free of undue influence or intimidation. May our polls be places of freedom, a fair election for all. God, who can do far more than we can ask or imagine, as the results of this election become clear, turn our country to the hard work of truth-seeking and healing. The sin of enmity looms large among us. May the results of this election bear good, spiritual fruit, opening us to your help and hope. May we seek your wisdom, love your truth and promote your peace this day and every day.Amen. Source: https://pres-outlook.org/2024/11/a-prayer-for-peace-and-justice-on-election-day/ |
