Support our troops. Please join us in an uplifting prayer for peace. This is not a war protest, but prayers for peace and nonviolence in our cities and the rest of the world. It is also a great way to show support for our troops during Christmas. We will meet at St. Malachi parking lot at 7:15pm on Wednesday, December 26. Carol Anderson
