Last week marked Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, a time when people around the world honor the sacred memory of the six million Jews, along with millions of Roma and Sinti, people of Slavic and Polish descent, persons with disabilities, Soviet prisoners of war, Jehovah’s Witnesses, those persecuted for their sexual orientation, and countless other innocent victims who were brutally murdered by the Nazi regime and its allies.
God of compassion and justice, we lift up the families of all Holocaust survivors and remember that genocide is a structural sin that violates the sanctity of life that you have bestowed on us. We ask for hearts around the world to be awakened to ensure the end of all genocides and dehumanizing ideologies that lead to genocide. May we stand together against the evils of antisemitism, Islamophobia, racism, and the dehumanization of Palestinians or any people. Help us build a world rooted in dignity, compassion, and peace for all.
God in your mercy…hear our prayer.

INVITATION TO A HALF DAY RETREAT
Saturday, May 30
10am – 2pm
How do we cope with the fact that life is always changing – whether we’re 30 or 80?
Join us for half a day of ritual activities and individual reflection on ways to adapt to change, let go of who we were, embrace who we are, and appreciate our unique life chapters.
This retreat is being led by Pastor Ann-Louise, with support from Congregational Life. Invite a friend!
A reminder that our strong loving God,
old aching God – is calmly piercing evils’ new disguises, wiser than despair:
