🔦 TCP Weekly Spotlight
HANDS ACROSS CHICAGO
Hands Across Chicago is an annual city-wide united prayer and faith-in-action event hosted on Memorial Day weekend by Chicagoland United in Prayer.
As the weather warms up in Chicago, often violence does as well. For the past seven years, Hands Across Chicago has been a practical expression of the Church praying together and working together for peace.
Join them on Friday, May 23 through Monday, May 26 for united prayer and action all across the city. Sign up to host a prayer location in your neighborhood with your church or small group. Then, put your faith into action to seek the wellbeing of that location over the weekend – you could clean the block, host a barbecue, or bring positive presence to a hotspot corner. Make it your own and collaborate with other churches and organizations around you.
