Prayer List
Friends,
This coming Sunday is known as Trinity Sunday in the Christian liturgical calendar. We ponder the mystery of God revealed as holy in community--the divine fashioner of creation, who is closer to us than our our very breath. May our reflection be guided by these words from 14th century mystic Julian of Norwich:
Mothering God, you gave me birth in the bright morning of this world. Creator, source of every breath, you are my rain, my wind, my sun.
Mothering Christ, you took my form, offering me your food of light, Grain of life, and grape of love, your very body for my peace.
Mothering Spirit, nurt’ring one, in arms of patience hold me close, So that in faith I root and grow until I flow’r, until I know.
~ Poem by mystic Julian of Norwich (c. 1342–c. 1416) adapted by poet Jean Wiebe Janzen
This week we pray for:
Addie, Shelley Peterson's granddaughter
Prayers of gratitude for Addie (9). She does not have cancer. We continue to hold her and her family in prayer as they are waiting for confirmation on whether Addie has Chronic Recurrent Multifocal Osteomyelitis (CRMO).
Gayle Elizabeth Walker, Pastor Enikö's friend
Prayers of gratitude for Gayle, whose test results came back negative.
Russell, friend of Julie Douglass-Gillespie
We continue to pray for Russell, who is nearing the end of his earthly journey and battle with bladder cancer. Prayers for comfort and peace for him and also for his partner John.
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.
Barbara Mykkanen
Continued prayers for Barb as she participates in a study to help others with similar cancer diagnosis.
We pray for
- all those struggling with stressful situations that weary the heart;
- those facing ongoing recovery, pain management, and health issues;
- our church family as we strive to be faithful to the Spirit's lead;
- our national leaders--may they find a compromise that serves our country without causing financial risk;
-
that creation care is a priority for governments, communities, and families around the globe; especially we pray for our Wayne County Commissioners that they not put a BAN on all large scale solar and wind projects on unincorporated land in Wayne County at their meeting next week.
- peace and a lasting end to violence and injustice;
- rest, time of replenishment with family, friends, in nature;
- may the fruit of the Spirit guide our hearts and minds in service and worship, bound together in love.
