Prayer for Justice: Marriage Equality

/ St. John's United Church of Christ/

On Tuesday, March 26, St. John's opens its doors to the community as we offer a Prayer for Justice in the spirit of Taize.  This prayer gathering includes songs and Scripture in the meditative glow of candles. The U. S. Supreme Court will hear arguments about marriage equality laws on Tuesday and Wednesday next week. The Justices' decision later this year will touch the lives of thousands of gay and lesbian people across our country.  Let us pray that God guides the court to a just decision that expands the right to marry to all couples regardless of gender.
