In Our Prayers
Lori Godwin asks for prayers for her childhood friend Ann, whose husband Mike, recently died after a difficult battle with cancer. May God's peace and comfort surround the family.
Prayers for peace and strength for Adriana Forney.
Rev. Bynum is grateful for the prayers for his friend John Horn, who has been diagnosed with esophageal cancer. May the treatment he is receiving be successful, and may he be lifted by the love and support of his family and friends.
Please also keep in your prayers Donna Runyan, a cousin of Diane Williams, who has battled multiple sclerosis for many years and is now in Hospice care.
We pray for the world, that as tensions mount, we may see the image of God in every person. May we all be the people our parents always hoped we would be: faithful, truthful, generous, and a friend to others.
