PRAYER LIST JANUARY 2026

As we prepare for the new year, we will be refreshing our prayer list for 2026. We will be lovingly closing out the current list, and all existing names will be removed. If you have intentions, needs, or loved ones you would like us to continue holding in prayer, please share them with us. It is our blessing to lift each request with care and faith as we enter the year ahead.

Pastor Chris

Father

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18


As God calls us to pray for one another, there is solace in community. The more we understand what we’re going through, the more we can comfort one another and share experiences. Pastor Chris encourages mutual prayer and care but without being intrusive. She would also like those making additions and deletions to the list to have the loved one’s permission to do so.
