Fourth Friday Prayers for 

November 26, 2010
are now available! (click here)

Thank you for joining in our prayer for all our sisters and brothers who find themselves without the work they so desperately seek and deserve, and for all who are working in jobs below their level of skill, experience, or training.

We also keep in mind all those who work for unjust wages.

Please share information about this site with others in your family, neighborhood, faith community, and work place; our goal is to consistently add to the number of people praying together for this cause on the Fourth Friday of each month.
