As a community, we can support and celebrate with each other through prayer. Join us in praying for those both spoken and unspoken during Sunday liturgy.

Prayers of Thanksgiving. For …

• Our story and that we’re not just sons of Isaac, Jacob, but we are sons of a living God. Help us to really know Jesus, follow him, and make his story our own. (Fred)
• People who have been giving of themselves and their time for others. (Steven)
• So many of the people in this room who have incredible stories working with poor schools, the homeless, and different things that can be emotionally draining. Thanks for those that are serving in that way. (Chris)

… let us bless the Lord.  Thanks be to God.

Prayers of Petition. For …

• The people who have been out of work for such a long time. Strengthen their spirits as they look for work. (Melissa)

… let us pray to the Lord.  Lord have mercy.
