Prayer List

Lord…

We thank you for your church, founded upon your Word, that challenges us to do more than sing and pray, 

but go out and work as though the very answer to our prayers depended on us and not upon you. 

Help us to realize that humanity was created to shine like the stars and live on through all eternity. 

Keep us, we pray, in perfect peace. 

Help us to walk together, 

pray together, 

sing together, 

and live together 



until that day when all God’s children 

- Black, White, Red, Brown and Yellow - 

will rejoice in one common band of humanity 

in the reign of our Lord and of our God, we pray. 

Amen. 

~The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.

We pray for

• those who are grappling with grief, illness, and ongoing health worries;
• all in our communities who struggle to make ends meet; who are overworked and underemployed, or cannot find work that sustains their life;
• migrant sisters and brothers caught up political power-plays at our Southern border, and in our cities across the country;
• the end of violence and destruction in Gaza, and in other places around the world; we pray for all long for peace and justice and a hopeful future for their children;
• wisdom for leaders in our communities to use their skills and resources for the common good;
• our Westminster community as we plan our 150th anniversary celebration in May.

Friends, may we embody God's light, love, compassion, and hope to all we encounter.
