Dear Friends,
We are eager to meet together for our next CS Monitor prayer session on Monday, August 3rd at 7pm ET. These meetings bring forth insightful discussions and wonderful opportunities to come together in a thoughtful and prayerful way for our world. Janell will be our host. We would love to have you join us.
The article that we will consider together this week has a focus of WORLD | EUROPE. 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.
Boldly going in different directions? US and Russia diverge on joint space plans.
By Fred Weir, Special correspondent, July 31, 2026. MOSCOW
WHY WE WROTE THIS
The space race has existed from the inception of exploration to the present, as we reported on Space Force. But exploration has also forged cooperation, even between the United States and Russia during the Cold War. Current geopolitics is testing that old model.
BONUS: One of our Monday participants suggested a recent Christian Science Perspective article that pairs so nicely with our Bible lesson and with the article above that will be our discussion point on Monday. It is included here so that we all can read or listen to it in preparation for our prayerful discussion on Monday.
What the world needs now …’
By Margaret Rogers, July 29, 2026
In the universe of God, who is infinite Love, there can be no competition for or lack of unlimited good. An article inspired by the Bible lesson for July 27-Aug. 2 from the Christian Science Quarterly.
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)
