This has been a trying year for America and our communities.  We have weathered storms, wildfires, a global pandemic, acts of injustice, peaceful protests, violence, and a contentious election.

Now, we find ourselves facing uncertain election results and threats of a contested outcome.   While voting has ended, the results of this election are now in the hands of state and local officials charged with counting and certifying the vote tally, as they have throughout our history.  As always, the integrity of our democracy is entrusted to their hands.

At this time, I ask you to join me in praying for those shouldering this responsibility.  Let’s also lift in prayer our divided nation that we may find healing and peace in the days and months ahead.
