Each week at 12:00 in Jerusalem Sabeel holds a Communion service that is open to the community. It is a time to join together to celebrate the eucharist, to discuss how the scriptures apply to our lives today, and to pray for the specific needs of this region. Our hope is that in our respective time zones, individuals and groups around the world will pray together at 12:00 on Thursdays, in solidarity with Sabeel in Jerusalem and with “Friends of Sabeel” worldwide. Starting in Australia, passing through Palestine, and continuing on around the world we pray for Peace with Justice and focus on specific issues each week.
Wave of Prayer for Thursday, 20 November, 2008
We pray for all the participants who will be returning home this week after the seventh Sabeel international conference. We pray for their safety as they travel back to their home countries, and we also pray that they will have the courage to speak about what they have witnessed , and will act upon their convictions.
We pray for the Palestinian refugees of 1948 and their families who cannot return back to their homes and to Palestine. We especially offer up prayers for the Palestinian families who become refugees still today, such as the Al Kurd family who has recently lost their home due to a house eviction order from the Israeli government.
