North Carolina Conference members called to prayer and fasting
All United Methodists in the North Carolina Conference are invited to participate in the Isaiah 58 National Solidarity Vigil and Fast during the week of July 18-24. During this time, congregations are invited to be in constant prayer and action for Christ-centered, comprehensive, and just immigration reform. Possibilities include taking prayers to the streets, standing as witnesses outside the statehouse, detention center, school, and other places where the brokenness of our immigration system is most apparent. For more information, please see Vigil and Fast or download an excellent free Christ-centered immigration reform study-guide, “For You Once Were a Stranger” at Once-a-Stranger.
