Hi, hitting the heart button is a great & free way to support these Offerings. <3

This is the audio version of the Offering for August 2024, “Stealing mercy back from the gods.”

If you’re looking for ways to support Palestinian people in a direct and material way, consider making a contribution to Mariam Ahmad’s fundraiser, a mother of five who is living in a tent and struggling to provide food and clean water for her children. In Mariam’s words, “with a newborn in my arms the gravity of the situation is heightened as I yearn to provide him with the nourishment and care he deserves…Please find it in your hearts to stand with us, to show mercy and compassion to a family in need.”
