Prayer Hubs
& Justice
Pray together
for our city
What are Prayer Hubs?
As part of the Daily Prayer Rhythm, we are hosting Prayer Hubs all across Portland to pray each morning. Prayer leads to justice, so with much anticipation we are revealing that each Prayer Hub location was chosen for its historical significance as a place of pain and injustice in our city. Find a Prayer Hub location near your home or a time that works within your morning schedule. Visit one or all of these Hubs and participate in this work of prayer for our city.
