SACRED SPACE AT NOON - Join us in a spirit of prayer at noon today. In honor of Memorial Day, we pray for all those in active duty. We pray for their safe return. We pray for those returning home, that they may get the befits, safety, resources, and support they need and well deserve. We pray for those countries at war, that the violence may cease and peace return again. May we continue to honor the lives of all those serving our shores by sowing seeds of peace, so that ones day "swords will turn into plowshares". #cwusacredspace

SACRED SPACE AT NOON - Join us in a spirit of prayer at noon today. As we approach summer time, and the gift of it's flowers, we pray for the bumble bee. We know that it is only because of bees and other pollinators that we get our flowers, vegetables, and fruits. Bees and other important pollinators are facing extinction. We pray for a world that honors the very interconnected nature of life, and every creature on this earth. May we work for a world that honors every life, both the bees and the flowers. #cwusacredspace
