United in Prayer – Join Believers Worldwide This Wednesday!

Join us on Wednesday, October 1st


As we draw nearer to the WEA General Assembly, we invite you to join hearts in focusing on the gospel. In a world filled with noise and conflict, it is to Christ, our peace, that we turn.

The scripture verses that undergird our General Assembly are:


“But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.”
(Ephesians 2:13–18)


This Week: Week 5 – Peace for the Far and Near (Eph. 2:17)


The peace of Christ is for everyone—those who feel far from God and those who think they are near. Too often, we assume some are “closer” to Christ than others, but Paul reminds us that all are saved by the same grace through the same cross.


Prayer Focus: Pray for the Gospel to reach all people, near and far.


Regional Focus:

  • Costa Rica: As the nation enters a critical election season, pray for integrity and peace.

  • Papua New Guinea: The Church steps into a new season of national witness following a historic declaration as a Christian nation.


Prayer Point: Lord, as You preached peace to those far and near, guide Costa Rica’s electoral process and Papua New Guinea’s national identity. May the message of GA2025 bring Your peace across nations, cultures, and political divides.


Join us Wednesdays at:

10:30 am ET

4:30 pm CET

This is a short, focused time of collective prayer. Together we lift up the nations, the Church, and one another before God.

Sun Day Prayer Guides – For Your Event or Personal Reflection

GreenFaith Logo

As we step into this powerful Sun Day weekend, we want to offer you a way to ground your events—and your own spirit—in prayer and reflection.

GreenFaith has created a set of prayer guides drawn from diverse faith traditions. These prayers are meant to be flexible: you can use them to open or close your Sun Day gathering, weave them into moments of song or silence, or simply hold them in your heart during personal reflection.

Whether you are leading a Soular Circle, joining a community action, or spending time in quiet devotion, these prayers are here to nurture wisdom, courage, and hope as together we shine a light for climate justice.



We invite you to use these guides in the way that feels most meaningful for you and your community. Every prayer, every intention, is part of the larger sacred chorus rising this weekend across the country and the world.

With gratitude and faith,

Rev. Amy Brooks Paradise
