Prayer List

“Don’t be afraid, I’ve redeemed you. I’ve called your name. You’re mine.

When you’re in over your head, I’ll be there with you.

  When you’re in rough waters, you will not go down.

When you’re between a rock and a hard place, it won’t be a dead end—

Because I am God, your personal God,

  The Holy of Israel, your Savior.

That’s how much you mean to me! That’s how much I love you!"

~ Isaiah 43:1-4 excerpt (The Message)

This week we pray for:

Antoinette and Divine Gbagbo and their family

Prayers for peace and guidance for the family as they settle into their new life in Los Angeles.

Lynn Hamrick

Continued prayers for healing after a knee replacement surgery.

Adam Shaw, son of Tom and Susan

Continued prayers for healing for Adam who contracted Covid while traveling in South Korea.

John Dryer

Continued prayers for John as he prepares to see a heart specialist regarding his heart arrhythmia. Tom is grateful for the support shown to him by members of our community.

Nahida Gordon

Continued prayers for continued healing for Nahida following a pacemaker implant.

Erica Ewing

Continues prayers for Erica who is spending her second week in El Salvador with Centro de Intercambio y Solidaridad; may this be a wonderful time of learning, of connection with mission partners in El Salvador, as well as a time of respite.

The CIS promotes a vision of sustainable development, not just short-term projects. Social Organizing in communities means fostering awareness and community participation to protect and improve living conditions in El Salvador.

Organizers live and work in their communities striving to educate community members, create community-member-led steering committees to increase participation, make decisions in a collective manner and implement local development plans.

They facilitate programs regarding clean water, education, entrepreneurship and more.

Barbara Mykkanen

Continued prayers for Barb as she participates in a study to help others with similar cancer diagnosis.

We pray for

• those among us who are grappling with illness, loneliness, and grief;
• those families in our wider community who have been affected by the sudden closure of the Nursery School;
• those who have had to evacuate due to storms, fires, and floods;
• rescue crews, ready to offer support and care;
• the people of Maui, as they continue to recover from the fires;
• those in the path of hurricane Idalia;
• the communities affected by the epidemic of gun violence in Jacksonville, FL; Chapel Hill, NC; and too many other places across our country;
• for a renewed sense of connection with one another and God's creation as we journey together.

Friends, as we continue our ministry, may the fruit of the Spirit guide our hearts and minds in service and worship, bound together in love!
