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 …

• The richness of God’s grace and that his mercy is equal for everyone (Emily)
• A friend who called me to encourage me as I have been looking for work the last six months
• My parents who are on an anniversary trip (Dan)
• This community and the encouragement it is to me and others (Kaley)
• All the changes I made and experienced last year (Meng)

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