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 …

• Evan being home and getting ready to get married (Gideon)
• Our baby daughter who is due this week (Ben)
• My youngest brother who just graduated from high school in Kenya (John K)
• God’s faithfulness in my doubts and difficult times overseas and all the blessings I had nothing to do with and for this community that has been my family (Evan)
• God’s timing and guidance as I was laid off from work in the midst of challenging me to leave my job (Dan)
• Our first work event brunch and seeing God bring together all the homeless who work at our farm and all those who serve and are part of this community (Steven H)

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