Prayer is essential to any effective action. Each week at TheEFC.ca/TakeAction we rotate through a prayer request from each of these five areas:

Sanctity of Life
Care for the Vulnerable
Church and Mission
Family and Community
Religious Freedom.

We also list an EFC affiliate group to pray for.

This Week’s Prayer Prompts  

This week's prayer prompt is about palliative care.

Pray:

For those at the end of life, who have received a terminal diagnosis or who have suffered a traumatic injury, and their families
For our culture to be life-affirming and compassionate
For our churches to be known for supporting and caring for loving those at the end of life
For all Canadians to have access to high quality palliative care

Each week we also list an EFC affiliate organization to pray for. Pray for Yonge Street Mission."YSM serves every neighbour who walks through our doors, guided by our values and belief that every person we meet has immense value and deserves to be treated with respect and dignity."
