God our Creator: We ask for your loving presence and for your peace to be with refugees in our local communities and around the world. Be with all who are in fear. Be with those whose lives and

livelihoods are under threat, and whose religious freedoms are being compromised. Be with us as we strive to enact your will in our welcome and support of refugees. Be with those in positions of leadership, that their decisions may bend toward peace and not division, and that they might realize the power they hold to do

justice. Give us all strength and courage. Equip and empower us to be witnesses to your love – as advocates and as servants, as

ministers of welcome and bearers of hope, especially for those seeking refuge. In your Holy name we pray. Amen.

Just remember…

Your voice matters.

“We reject the idolatrous notion that we can ensure the safety of some by sacrificing the hopes of others. No matter where we fall on the political spectrum, we must respect the dignity of every human being and we must seek the common good above all else.” – Episcopal Church House of Bishops
