Holy Thursday, the Eucharist, and World Hunger

Selections from the Center of Concern's Education for Justice website:

As we celebrate the institution of the Eucharist on Holy Thursday, we recall the scandal of hunger in our world.

Bread for the World has worked for 32 years as a Christian voice for ending hunger. Learn more about it at: http://www.bread.org/

The ONE Campaign is an effort supported by Bread for the World to rally Americans -- ONE by ONE -- to fight global AIDS and extreme poverty. Learn more at: http://www.one.org/

On this Holy Thursday, let us pray . . . .

For all those who do not have enough to eat this evening, we pray….
For all those who do not have a home this evening, we pray….
For all those who live in fear of war, terrorism, and violence, we pray….
For all those who need to be set free from political and economic oppression, we pray….
For all those called to service, especially to service of those most in need, we pray….
For our church, that we may be renewed in the spirit of Jesus, we pray….

God, bring us together as one people.
