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 …

• Those of us who are actively working for justice for women/people around the world. (Chris)
• My brother-in-law Robert who has been having a lot of struggles but has decided to come to Christ. That he find a community who can encourage him in following Christ. (Julie)

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

Prayers of Petition. For …

• Those of us who pass by hurting people everyday. (Chris)
• My mother who is having serious doubts about God.  Pray that God will give me words to comfort and encourage her. (Rachel)
• Those who are struggling with aches, pains, exhaustion, oppression (Mick)
• All the women in the Philippines separated from their family and children. (Rachel)
• My friend Jordan who witnessed a family get side-swiped and watched the father do CPR on his dead son. For that family, for Jordan, and the people who caused the accident.
• My friend Grace who is training illiterate pastors in the Philippine mountains about the bible, that she receive respect. (Chris)

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