Summer isn't always

vacation time.


Summer is a time of sunshine and warmth, outdoor activity and fun,

rest and refreshment. Many of us enjoyed the summer, perhaps even with a vacation!


But, there are many for whom the struggles of life and survival continue. They do not get a vacation from their struggles. Their hardships continue everyday.



Out of thanksgiving for our abundance, let us continue to pray for and offer assistance to those for whom summer was not vacation time.


Your donation to FaithWorks is appreciated!


"Those who are generous are blessed,

for they share their bread with the poor."

Proverbs 22:9

Prayer for FaithWorks Sunday

- The Reign of Christ -

 

Today we celebrate that Divinity arose among us in Jesus, lives within us, and sees us daily in the lives of those who call out for assistance.

 

We pray for all those who work within the FaithWorks family of support. We pray that our gratitude for their work may enrich their lives and sustain their energies for the great work that they are called to do. 

 

We pray for all those whom they assist that their lives may be renewed for full participation in the human family. 

 

We pray for the success of the FaithWorks fundraising campaign that we, too, may be given a chance to be those hands that do the work of saving lives and offering hope for so many. Help us to be as generous as possible, especially in this time when we are made aware of what it is to be alone, in need, and fearful of the future.

 

May the eyes of our hearts be always open to the full humanity of all.

 

Almighty, God, we pray this in the name of Jesus Christ who is alive with You and the Holy Spirit, today and forever.

 

Amen.
