UNITED PRAYER & ACTION for Peace in Chicago
Hands Across Chicago is an annual city-wide united prayer and faith-in-action event hosted on Memorial Day weekend.
As the weather warms up in Chicago, often violence does as well. We want to see the Church responding with prayer and positive presence—we can be a part of making peace happen.
For the past seven years, Hands Across Chicago has been a practical expression of the Church praying together and working together for peace.
Sign up to host a prayer location in your neighborhood with your church or small group. Then, put your faith into action to seek the wellbeing of that location over the weekend – you could clean the block, host a barbecue, or bring positive presence to a hotspot corner.
Make it your own and collaborate with other churches and organizations around you. There’s something for all us as we link our hands across Chicago in prayer and action this Memorial Day weekend.

God, help us engage conflict with humility, gentleness, and love, so that through our honest relationships and patient efforts, the unity of your Spirit may shine visibly in a divided world.
