News from Around the world this week–Topics for intention and intercession

Join us for a look at news stories from around the world this week, some of which may not be making the headlines where you are, as we consider where and how we might focus our intentions and prayers.  

Shared intention   

The appalling crisis in Gaza where babies are dying of malnutrition has really pulled at our heart strings this week. We suggest holding as our weekly focus the intention: 

We will that all who have influence in permitting and distributing aid to Gaza will be moved by the cries of malnourished babies in the region who are perishing under their gaze. 

Please join us in holding this.
