Disciples Justice Ministries will be following up this video with 60-Days of Prayer for Civil Rights and Civic Engagement with video prayers from DJM ministry partners inviting us to continue the hard work of standing up for civil rights, advocating for justice, and proclaiming the Good News of God’s love for all people. Watch for those videos in the coming days – we’ll be including one of the prayers each week in worship.
