Prayers for Tucson and Our Nation

With others, we join our entire nation in contemplation and grief after a tragic shooting took place in Tucson, Arizona today, killing six and injuring others, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords who serves Arizona's 8th district.

May we raise our voices in prayer, concern, and love toward the families affected today, and remain prayful for for peace in Tucson and the entire state of Arizona. And let us pray this prayer as well:

Loving God, help us to be a part of the very prayers we make.

If you would like to send a note of prayer and encouragement to the office of Rep. Giffords, you can send an e-mail here.

And in addition to all of Tucson's houses of worship, our ministry also remembers our sister PC(USA) churches in Tucson, praying that they will be able to comfort those who mourn and speak for peace.

If you would like to send notes of encouragement to these congregations, you may visit these websites:
