Greetings!
 
Norwegian Friends are asking Friends around the world to hold in worship the climate summit taking place in Copenhagen this week. Where possible, Friends are asked to pray for the summit at 11.00 am Denmark local time on Sunday December 13th. Since that is several hours ahead of Friends in the Americas (ranging from five hours for the Virgin Islands Worship Group to eleven hours for Honolulu Monthly Meeting) it may be a little early for some. An alternative is to hold the event in your prayers at 11 am local time on Sunday, wherever you are.


 
Best wishes for a happy and blessed Christmas,
Margaret Fraser
