Prayers of the People

Joys, Concerns and Prayers.jpg

In worship last Sunday, we joined together to lift these prayers:

• That love is more powerful than ingrained ways we’ve been trained to see the world.  May love be our interpretive lens.  May love be how we come to see and engage all the world!  (via Gospel of Matthew 15)

• For John’s niece Nadine with colon cancer.  Prayers  that her 8/18 surgery was smooth and God guided her  surgeon’s hand.  God bring relief to your servant, as we pray her recovery leads to all cancer being gone.

• Our prayers have been around Pierre as he underwent 8/18 hernia surgery, with all thanks that it went well, and for his rest and recovery at home.

• Our members who have had family unable to come to offer their usual help in the yard or home.  For a spirit of creativity to be learning solo, new ways to keep up all chores.

• With Nell’s niece who has found ovarian cancer all through her body.  May chemo and surgery begin, and may she be given hope in the direction & course ahead.

We continue to lift in prayer: 

Families & teachers at Keystone, who are figuring fall plans to work while they support our youth scholars, our college scholars, and our children in this new year out of their cherished daycares, preschools, & elementary schools. 

Holy God ... hear our prayers!

These prayers are crafted to carry those shared in worship to our whole community, in the general spirit in which they were given (a leader notes as others pray.)  Also send Rev. Lauren prayer requests, and we can add them  to our online worship.  Also add your prayers to the Zoom chat box during live worship, and we can fold them in to the spoken prayer time.
