Christ Church Coronado Election Eve Service

The peace and justice committee of Christ Church Coronado is sponsoring an election eve prayer service at 6 p.m. November 4 at Christ Episcopal Church, on the corner of Ninth Street and C Avenue. In this contentious political time, let us gather to pray for peace, calm hearts and wise decisions. The service will be a contemplative service with the intention of promoting healing of the divisiveness in our community and our country. The service is open to all. Please join us as we pray for unity and for safe and fair elections; asking for God’s help and guidance as we enter a decisive day.

The peace and justice committee of Christ Church was formed in September 2020. Through education, advocacy and action, our mission is for our church to be a bridge of love to the community and beyond as we bring people together to make systemic changes and heal the deep divisions that exist in our society. In 2020, we facilitated antiracism training and conducted voter education, organized prayer vigils for safe elections and introduced civil discourse materials to the congregation. Since then, we have continued these efforts and worked toward reducing homelessness, ending the environmental crisis associated with the beach pollution, and protecting the needs and rights of LGBTQ+ students.
