LAST WEEK TO DONATE YOUR BOOKS!
If you’ve been planning to donate books
for the Community Fall Festival on October 31 – this is your last week to
bring them to church!
Drop them off at the labeled BIG box in the Narthex.
On 9 October 2026, the Sabeel Old City Hub and Jerusalem Runners organized a 5K run and walk around the Old City to mark Breast Cancer Awareness Month, promote early detection, and show solidarity with women affected by breast cancer. Friends and families joined together to run, walk, and raise awareness. Nurse Mary Majlaton led an awareness session on the importance of early detection. Participants also enjoyed games and prizes sponsored by local Jerusalem businesses. All funds raised will be donated to Al-Mutala’a Hospital.
God of justice and mercy, we pray for our sisters and brothers who are ill, especially the women of our land living with breast cancer. Where a checkpoint or a closed road stands between a patient and her treatment, let your mercy open the way. Bless healthcare workers who work tirelessly for the community and hold close the families who keep vigil beside them. Make us a community of sumud, steadfast in love, with willing hands and open hearts, so that no one walks this road alone.
Lord in your mercy…hear our prayer.

Through all the tumult and the strife, I hear that music ringing
It sounds and echoes in my soul…
