Dear Friends,

We are eager to meet together for our next CS Monitor prayer session on Monday, July 27th at 7pm ET. These meetings bring forth insightful discussions and wonderful opportunities to come together in a thoughtful and prayerful way for our world. Brian will be our host. We would love to have you join us.

The article that we will consider together this week is from THE EXPLAINER. The link is listed below. It is helpful to have read the article beforehand, but you are welcome to join us regardless. Feel free to share this email with others who might want to participate, as well.

Supreme Court gave presidents more power over agencies. Are any still independent?

By Olivia Fletcher, Staff writer, July 25, 2026, 5:00 a.m. ET

WHY WE WROTE THIS 

The Supreme Court’s June ruling in Trump v. Slaughter could shift the balance between presidential control and agency autonomy, legal scholars say.

We are looking forward to this expression of church that propels us towards prayer.

Warmly

Your JP Monitor prayer team (Brian, Janell, Joe, Sarah and Tee)
