Prayer for our Cities

An article in the USA Today last week highlighted the rising levels of violent crime in many of our cities during the summer months. Cities across the nation continue to confront this troubling reality. In Batlimore, over the Memorial Day weekend, there were ten shootings in the city. This past weekend, John Crowder, a very promising young high school basketball player was murdered in East Baltimore. Let us all see this violence as our shared concern, and remain in prayer for our cities, the people and each of our leaders.
