Prayer List

"May you receive the gift and obligation of unity

as we strive to love one another,

to embody community together,

and to make visible that which obscures the truth.

May the God who breathed life into your being

surround you with those empowered to protect

and nurture your very breath.

May your witness to the height, breadth, and depth

of the love of Christ always be your starting point.

And may the companionship of the Holy Spirit

undergird your courage to speak truth to power."

*Benediction by Rev. Ruth T. West written for the Juneteenth Worship of the 225th GA on June 19, 2022.

This week we pray for:

Judy VanWie

Prayers of healing and comfort for long-time member, Judy. She is making very good progress from her stroke and will soon be moved to the Thurber Rehabilitation Facility. Cards can be sent to her home address at the Thurber apartments and they will be taken to her.

Barbara Hays

Prayers for comfort and peace for Barbara who is moving to Westwood Manor on July 19th. We will share her updated contact information when available.

Joe Hartzler

Continued prayers for healing and strength for Joe who is recovering from a serious heart attack last week. You may send get well cards to him to encourage him during the journey ahead.

Barbara Mykkanen

Continued prayers for healing and comfort for Barb during her chemo treatment for uterine and ovarian cancers.

Debbie Hostettler 

Continued prayers, love and support for Debbie throughout the remaining chemo treatments. She is experiencing a lot of fatigue. 

We pray for

• those who face discrimination and fear for their safety and wellbeing;
• people and places around the world caught up in warfare and violence and for refugees and immigrants seeking safety, and sustainable homes;
• all who feel isolated, struggle with depression and darkness, and carry other burdens;
• the church, local and global, in worship and service following Jesus Christ;
• increased humility, honesty, and integrity for all of us;
• and more love, patience, and peace in our hearts and across the globe.

We lift prayers of gratitude and hope for our joint journey from members of our Westminster family shared during our service at Clear Creek Park.
