prayed over the wall and our community. Our Community Engagement Team, led by Co-chairs Carol Maxwell and Carol Swisher, and other members and friends began to welcome and engage in conversations with our neighbors over Krispy Kremes, Cokes, and Mardi Gras beads and by inviting them to write their prayers for peace and healing on the wall. Christina, a young Jewish woman with family in Kyiv, Ukraine was the first to take the chalk and write a prayer to God for her family and people in Ukraine. Many others followed offering prayers for new jobs, relief from debts, healing for friends and family, for humanity, and world peace.
everywhere have a need to pray and our Prayer Wall offers another portal. Each day, pictures are taken of the prayers to be incorporated within the prayers of Redeemer and its Prayer Warriors. Also, Mary Howle developed and placed a QR Code on the wall which, by placing one's smartphone camera over the code can open up Redeemer's prayer portal which can be utilized when and wherever one is at the time. Please pray for those who post prayers for God on the wall and visit the Prayer Wall when you are in Midtown during Lent and Holy Week to offer a prayer and even meet a neighbor at the wall.
