The Bible instructs us to pray for those who are in prison on account of their testimony for Christ as though we ourselves were there with them (see Hebrews 13:3). "If one member suffers," Paul reminds us, "all suffer together" (1 Corinthians 12:26). Gather with us for this one-hour prayer vigil to remember and express solidarity for the persecuted church.

The Bible instructs us to pray for healing for one another. In James 5:16 we read, “Pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective” (NIV). During this one-hour prayer vigil, we will come before the Lord to seek spiritual, emotional, and physical healing for ourselves, our loved ones, and our communities. We will also set aside time for praise and thanksgiving to the Lord, “who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases” (Psalm 103:3, NIV).

The Apostle Paul instructs the church to “address one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart" (Ephesians 5:19). In this workshop, we will explore ways to incorporate music and singing into online prayer services. We will review best practices in proctoring worship videos, spotlighting solo musicians, conducting group singing, leading liturgical readings, and creating Bible songs.

This one-hour workshop will explore the physical practice of walking as a concrete practice of spiritual devotion to our Lord. We will consider tools for praying with, though, and for places along our path, and postures of being oriented to our God as we walk our city’s streets, our park’s paths, our countries’ lanes: this Biblical landscape of life.
