Breathing Smoke … Seeking Hope

a time of prayer, reflection, and praise

This event was held on Sunday, September 20


As wildfires rage, we add to our prayers yet another crisis. Our individual prayers are crucial, but our corporate prayers are needed, too.

United Methodists from across the Greater Northwest Area held a time of prayer, reflection, and praise in online worship on Sunday, September 20. A recording of that service is available on this page.

Voices from across the Area led us through music, liturgy, and deep breaths amid the fire, smoke, ash, anxiety, and grief of this time. Viewers still have the opportunity to offer financial support to disaster response efforts in each annual conference as you see images of our earlier commitments to be good stewards of the earth and our current efforts to love our neighbors.  


In the Oregon-Idaho Conference, you can give online to the Conference Disaster Response Fund.

In the Pacific Northwest Conference, you can give online to the Conference Disaster Response Fund.
