#ceasefirenow
On 24 December 2023, I posted about the 1914 Christmas Truce.
I neglected to include links to advocate for a ceasefire in the conflict between Israel and Hamas taking place in Gaza. This post rectifies that. Note that you can email President Biden about a ceasefire in the conflict between Ukraine and Russia as well.
Advocate for a ceasefire with the Office of Public Witness, Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)
Learn about the work of Presbyterian Disaster Assistance in Israel/Palestine
Support the work of Presbyterian Disaster Assistance; use the online form provided and designate your gifts to DR000081-Israel/Palestine
Advocate for a ceasefire with Jewish Voices for Peace
Respond to the Statement on the Celebration of Advent and Christmas during a Time of War by the Patriarchs and Heads of Communion of the Churches in Jerusalem; observing a moment of silence during this Sunday’s service or providing an opportunity to advocate for a Ceasefire would be two examples.

A prayer for the Korean Peninsula
Gracious God,
stand with the people of
the Republic of Korea and
the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea
as they experience the monsoon season.
Comfort those who mourn the death
of loved ones.
Strengthen those who have had to evacuate
and are not living in other places than their homes.
Guide the work of those who seek to protect crops.
May the efforts to protect people prove fruitful.
May citizens heed warnings and take steps to increase safety.
Protect the people and the wildlife during this time.
We pray in Jesus’ name.
Amen.
