Election Eve Candlelight Vigil and Prayer Service

Last night, 50+ people from our congregation joined more than 30 houses of worship—and our neighbors—for a non-partisan Election Eve Candlelight Vigil. Participants lined 16th Street, from the White House to Silver Spring, with candles, signs, and our deepest prayers for democracy, peace, and hope. After the vigil, First Baptist folk gathered in our sanctuary to pray for our city, country, and world.
