In the wake of the verdicts in the Derek Chauvin trial, I invite you to join me in praying for peace in our cities, and for steps toward both healing in our communities and systemic changes furthering the cause of justice, wherever they are needed.

I invite you to pray that God would use us with greater effectiveness toward these ends and as ambassadors of Christ, the Gospel and the message of reconciliation between God and people, and among people beloved by God.

I invite you to read the statement issued yesterday from the ECC denominational leadership, found here:

• 04/20/2021 – Statement from Evangelical Covenant Church

May God bless you and keep you in this moment that to many feels like “a collective exhale.”

Pastor Ben
