This Week At Westminster

Prayer List



Gracious God,

Our hearts are soft, our ears open.

Speak, Lord, of the change you desire to write into

our life stories as they unfold.

For we are gently becoming aware

that knowledge will not be the basis

for our understanding of how life goes.

Love will. 

Amen.




*from Good Enough: 40ish Devotionals for a Life of Imperfection by Kate Bowler & Jessica Richie



This week we pray for:


Janelle Collier

Prayers for healing and smooth recovery for Janelle who had a successful knee replacement surgery this morning at Wooster Memorial Hospital. She is expecting to go home tomorrow. Pray also for Jim as he supports Janelle in this process. 


Jenni Adams, Candy Relle's friend

Prayers for peace and comfort for Jenni's family and friends upon her death last week. Jenni was a wonderful teacher at Parkview Elementary School.


Debbie Hostettler

Continued prayers of strength and comfort for Debbie and her family as Debbie is undergoing chemo treatment. 


Terri Brown, friend of Dawn Kridel

Prayers for strength and comfort for Terri who is battling esophageal cancer and is awaiting test results.


Ilona (Helen) Ferenczy, Pastor Enikő's mother

Continued prayers for healing and peace for Ilona who will have a CT scan on Thursday for some health concerns.


Otis Whitmore

Continued prayers for Otis who is recovering from a number of health issues and is presently at a skilled nursing facility in Wadsworth, OH.


We pray for those who grieve loved ones and losses; for everyone who is uncertain about their future and what the next best step may be; for those who struggle with illness, treatments, and life transitions. 


We pray for peace and safety for those caught up in warfare and violence - in Ukraine, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Yemen, Iraq and many other places; the many people around the world seeking asylum, help, and care.


We pray for guidance, wisdom and courage for all Presbyterian Church (USA) General Assembly committee leaders as they prepare for the work of the assembly to discern the will of Christ for our denomination at this year's GA meeting between June 18 - July 9. Pastor Enikő is vice moderator of the Theology, Worship and Education committee.

Prayer Request and Privacy Laws

Please note, that because of government privacy laws, hospitals and care centers no longer are allowed to notify churches that a person has been admitted (even if the person lists their home church at admission). The only way that the church staff will know if someone is hospitalized is if a family member or friend lets us know. We'd rather get 20 calls about the same person than none! Thanks for your help in making Westminster a caring community. Contact the Westminster Office by phone 330-263-2398 or email to notify the church if you or someone you know is hospitalized or otherwise in need of our prayers!
