On a damp and rainy Wednesday morning, something remarkable unfolded. Nearly fifty people, including more than a dozen members of the clergy gathered to pray for the families, programs, and facilities of Sojourner House and Sojourner House MOMS.
The Day of Prayer has been a long-held vision of Executive Director De’netta Benjamin-Miller, who, since her arrival at Sojourner House five years ago, has seen the unwavering support of numerous faith-based organizations. “When I realized how many faith-based organizations support us and our mission, I started to think about how we can get everyone together to give us the one resource that’s more valuable than money: prayer,” she shared.
Members of the clergy, representing multiple denominations and faiths, shared blessings, prayers, and words of encouragement for the families impacted by substance use disorder. Together, they reflected on the lives lost to the disease and the hope that recovery provides.
For Sojourner House and Sojourner House MOMS, our gratitude extends beyond words for everyone who joined us. The continued support of faith-based partners exemplifies the power of community and our shared commitment to healing and hope.
The Day of Prayer served as a beacon of light and hope. It was a reminder of the strength found in collective faith and compassion. We look forward to hosting the event again in the future to continue uplifting the families of Sojourner House and Sojourner House MOMS.
