Election Sabbath

Voting is a sacred duty, and we know that our values are on the line. Kansans of Faith must vote for our values in the upcoming primary election, so we're encouraging all of our partners and supporters to focus a portion of their worship services on August 1 & 2 on the importance of voting. 

We've created original liturgies and prayers written by KIFA folks and curated other resources from our many partners. You can access those resources here. 

You need not use the resources we provide to participate. And, you don't have to make voting the entire focus of your service. (although you certainly can!) It could be one element that fits into the larger whole of your day. 

Can we count on you to get out the vote with us?  We'd like to have 30 congregations to join in with us, so please let Mandy know if you are planning to participate. And be sure to take pictures/video so that we can show our collective support across the state.

Let’s get out the vote!

KIFA’s 2026 Election Season Prayer

Source of our strength, as we enter this election season, we are filled with both hope and uncertainty. In a time when voting rights are under threat, when wealth and power seek to shape our democracy, and when public discourse is marked by division and hostility, we long for peace. Remind us that we do not walk this path alone. Fill us with the spirit of justice that sustained those who came before us.

Fill us with uncompromising courage, like John Lewis.

Fill us with deep and profound faith, like Fannie Lou Hamer.

Fill us with the relentless commitment to exposing truth, like Ida B. Wells-Barnett.

Fill us with unyielding determination, like Frederick Douglass.

Fill us with a passion for organizing and building community, like Dolores Huerta.

Fill us with tireless perseverance, like Susan B. Anthony.

As we prepare to cast our ballot, guide our hearts as we carry our deepest values into the voting booth. Then strengthen our hands and steady our resolve to continue the work of justice, compassion, and the common good, whatever the outcome may be. Amen.
