Place this prayer card near your kitchen sink, or inside the frame of your bathroom mirror. Use it to 1) make sure you’re washing your hands long enough to do some good, and 2) to take a moment and remember Chautauqua and one another in your prayers.

We are asking these preachers and lecturers to write a brief prayer from their own tradition, praying the way prayers are said in their faith tradition, as a reminder to each of us that though we use different names for God, worship with different words, and express our faith in multiple ways, we are drawn together by our common humanity, especially in these difficult times. We will be sending these Interfaith Prayers of the Week to you each Monday via email, for as long as we are all hunkering down and working to stop the spread of this virus.
