May celebrates Asian American and Pacific Island Heritage Month. During this month, members of the AAPI community from all walks of life unite to celebrate and share their culture and diversity with the rest of the world. Click HERE for more information about AAPI Heritage Month. We also celebrate Jewish American Heritage Month. We join with our Jewish community in paying tribute to the generations of Jewish Americans who helped form the fabric of American history, culture and society.

Let us pray. Our God and God of our ancestors, with mercy accept our prayer on behalf of our country and its government. Uproot from our hearts hatred and malice, jealousy and strife. Plant love and companionship, peace and friendship, among the many peoples and faiths who dwell in our nation. We ask that those who are treated unjustly may be granted the strength and courage to speak out, and that their voices may be heard. May you continue to lead us in making just decisions and empower us to tackle challenges that stem from injustice. We pray this in the name of all that is good and holy, Amen. (excerpts from a version of “Prayer for Our Country.”)
