Churches and Houses of Worship that partner with the 14th District Police Department invite neighbors from the 14th District and beyond to attend a Vigil and Special Worship Service to Seek God for the Peace of our Community.

Our theme verse is Jeremiah 29:7 “Seek the peace of the city…Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.”

We will also be offering prayers for the families who have been hurt by violence this year.

Neighborhood young people will be leading us in song, skits, and prayer. Come and join us in this interfaith celebration. If your youth group/choir would like to participate in this special event, please contact David, (773) 486-9439.
