Prayer List
Friends, today is Ash Wednesday. As we enter the season of Lent, this period of 40 days, we join Jesus on the journey that led him to the cross... a journey toward new life.
This Lenten season we'll be asking questions that deepen our faith, that help us foster deeper relationships with God and with one another, and our planet.
Hope you join us on this journey of healing, transformation, and renewal!
Today I invite you to reflect on this question:
At the end of your life, what do you want people to say about you?
God, if I am seeking a legacy, let me seek the right one. Let me not be distracted by shiny, fleeting things. Do not let me get sucked into the whirlpool of ego and insecurity. Instead, give me the wisdom to sink into you, allowing any legacy of mine to grow from and toward you. Amen.

This week we pray for:
Bob Iams
Prayers for Bob who has entered the last days of his earthly journey. He is being kept comfortable at Wooster Memorial Hospital... and his humor is as sharp as ever. Prayers for comfort and peace for Dorothy too during this time, and for their children who are driving to Wooster tomorrow.
Colin, son of Barbara Mykkanen and Stephanie Spangler
Prayers for relief from dental pain for Colin. He is going to a new dentist this afternoon.
Deb Hostettler
Continued prayers for Deb who is hoping to regain her appetite and energy following an adjustment in her medication to reduce side effects.
Erin Guzmán, COW Chaplain
Continued prayers for healing for Erin who is recovering from surgery on both wrists.
Barbara Mykkanen
Continued prayers for Barb as she participates in a study to help others with similar cancer diagnosis.
We pray for
- those grieving lives lost after the earthquake in Turkey and Syria;
- those struggling with chronic illness, mental health and anxiety;
- those who are facing daunting decisions and complex transitions;
- those who tirelessly dedicate their time, skills and energy to creating a more wholesome and just world;
- God's Love to shine bright in the darkness and to inspire us to show up with courage and compassion.
