Last week, amid the rubble of Al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City, a cohort of 168 Palestinian doctors received their advanced medical certifications in a graduation ceremony symbolizing their resilience and determination for life. The graduates had studied and sat for examinations while working nonstop inside Gaza’s hospitals for over two years, with many being injured, arrested, or having family members killed. The ceremony included empty chairs displaying photographs of healthcare workers killed during the war.
Holy God, we give thanks to the doctors and healthcare workers of Gaza who teach us how to love. Be with them and protect them and their families as they work tirelessly to rebuild. May their example ignite in us a determination to show life and hope to others.
Lord in your mercy…hear our prayer.

Book Club
Saturday, January 17th at 10am
We will discuss Pat Conroy’s extraordinary memoir based on his experience as one of two teachers in a two-room schoolhouse, working with children the world had pretty much forgotten. It was a year that changed his life, and one that introduced a group of poor Black children to a world they did not know existed.
Invite a friend to join us!
