- Introduction of the theme of peace – the olive branch
- The focus of our prayers today are the Holy Land for peace between Israeli and Palestinian alike
- Something we know is incredibly difficult and has been since the birth of the state of Israel
- We are torn between all of the injustices of the past and pray for a reconciliation and and end to conflict
- We came back from holiday and the olive tree in the pot at home was beginning to bud.
- This branch has been a symbol of peace for so many years
- Update on Commitment for Life projects in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories and present situation
- Prayer: Pray not for Arab or Jew, for Palestinian or Israeli But pray rather for ourselves That we might not divide them in our prayers. But keep them together in our hearts.
