A Prayer for Our Neighborhoods

Liturgies for Parents with Kayla Craig

What does it mean for our families to love our neighbors? It doesn’t need to be grand gestures aimed at solving the world’s most complex issues. Loving our neighbors can simply look like showing up in the world—ordering extra pizza to share with others, hosting a game of pickup basketball in your front yard, learning the names of those who live on your street, and so on. This week, join us in asking God for help in how to love our local and global neighbors the way Jesus did. May our families be known for cultivating friendship and peace.

Kayla’s new book, Every Season Sacred, is an invitation to ask big questions, embrace faithful rhythms, and experience God’s mysterious, loving presence together. You don’t have to have all the answers—and if we’re honest, many answers aren’t ours to have. This is the beauty of faith. Preorder your copy before September 19, 2023, and get a collection of free gifts!
