Prayer List
Christ is Risen! Happy Easter!
In the bulb there is a flower; in the seed, an apple tree; in cocoons, a hidden promise: butterflies will soon be free! In the cold and snow of winter there’s a spring that waits to be, unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see.
There’s a song in ev’ry silence, seeking word and melody. There’s a dawn in ev’ry darkness, bringing hope to you and me. From the past will come the future; what it holds, a mystery, unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see.
In our end is our beginning; in our time, infinity; in our doubt there is believing; in our life, eternity. In our death, a resurrection; at the last, a victory, unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see.

We pray for
- an end to the seemingly endless cycle of shootings and deaths related to gun violence and for commonsense action and relief to this fear and trauma;
- all who suffer pain and setback in these days – from our own hearts, to our loved ones, to our neighbors, and siblings in places torn by conflict and war;
- places of stress and trauma, where tragedy strikes and challenges continue - prayers for God’s presence, peace and comfort to be experienced;
- ministries that seek to alleviate the needs of the marginalized and create a more equatable society, here in our Wooster community and across the world;
- signs of joy and healing – where life and hope emerge over death and despair;
Friends, in the midst of our tumultuous world, we are reminded that we our Easter people. May we continue our journey in hope, assured by the promise that the Creator of all keeps bringing renewal and new life into our midst... even when we cannot image it.
