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 …

• My parents moving back to Houston, which is a good thing. (Naomi)
• My move to Boston and embracing the new opportunities. (Emet)
• The students leaving our community. They go with our blessing. (Jason)

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

Prayers of Petition. For …

• The parents, teachers, and students who are going back to school or college. (Weylin)
• A friend in a coma after a car accident.
• My friend’s brother who has terminal cancer.
• My brother who is going through a hard time. (Naomi)
• My brother’s family who is experiencing stress after medical bills. (Joe)
• The family on an aunt’s anniversary.
• The newness, wisdom and strength after welcoming my 13 year old sister into my family. (Nick)
• One of my students who was murdered by their father. (Jeremy)
• A student who doesn’t have a healthy family structure. For the chaos of the world that comes into the classroom and for help and safety for students. (Ali)

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