Daily Prayer for Child Refugees
1:00pm (Any time zone will do!)
 
United Methodist Women works for immigration justice with United Methodist and other partners every day. Those currently arriving at the southern border of the U.S. - many of whom are children - need our assistance.

Each day at 1 p.m. (any time zone will do!) say a prayer for a just and peaceful resolution to this humanitarian crisis and the children and families affected by our current immigration and deportation policies.
