Dear Friends,

We are eager to meet together for our next CS Monitor prayer session on Monday, September 21st at 7pm ET. These meetings bring forth insightful discussions and wonderful opportunities to come together in a thoughtful and prayerful way for our world. Joe will be our host. We would love to have you join us.

The article that we will consider together this week has the focus of POLITICS. The link is listed below. It is helpful to have read or listened to 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.

Perceptions of US government corruption are soaring. What can be done?

By Linda Feldmann, Washington Bureau Chief, WASHINGTON | SEPT. 14, 2026, 2:06 P.M. ET

History shows periods of corruption tend to be followed by waves of reform. But legislative or constitutional fixes face high hurdles in such polarized times.

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)
