Ready to join
Pray Without Ceasing?

We invite you to join with congregations and communities across the ELCA to gather for weekly, community prayer as part of the Bishops’ Pray Without Ceasing Initiative.

Specifically, we ask your ministry make two commitments:

1) Establish and host a regular, weekly prayer gathering – welcoming all. We encourage congregations to consider Sunday at 5:00 p.m. (local time), but trust that you will determine a time and day that is best for your situation.

2) Invite two other congregations or communities (ELCA, full communion partners, other faith communities) to make the same two-fold commitment (to host a weekly, welcoming prayer gathering and to ask two other congregations to make the same commitment).

Our prayer is that by Pentecost Sunday on June 8, several communities in our synod and in each participating synod will have begun gathering weekly to Pray without Ceasing. How amazing that over the weeks, this number will continue to grow and multiply.
