You are invited to participate in a Portland Interfaith Prayer Assembly. The five-week, six-service prayer vigil will kick off on Sept. 25, 2016.
Here are a few reasons to take part:

2. We have a tendency to surround ourselves with people who are like us — furthering
the division.
3. Houses of worship can be the place where people come together. But we need God’s
help.
