Prayer List
During these tumultuous times of the pandemic and experiences of continued acts of racial bigotry across the nation, we find ourselves groaning with the entire creation, as Romans 8 aptly describes it. May it give us hope that, just as scripture promises, exactly at times like this the Spirit helps us in our weakness, and she intercedes with us and turns our sighs too deep for words into prayer. (Romans 8:22, 26)
This week we pray for:

Continued prayers for full recovery after a recent gallbladder surgery.
Continued prayers for all of those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Those who lost loved ones; those among us who cannot visit loved ones in nursing homes or hospitals; those who lost jobs; those whose livelihoods and safety is endangered, especially our neighbors experiencing homelessness here in Wooster.
Prayers for international students affected by the new regulations issued from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE). These regulations require that international students in the United States take courses in-person or in a hybrid format. If students take only remote or online courses, their visa status would lapse and they would be required to leave the US. We pray also for those advocates at universities and colleges and in the legal system who are working tirelessly to change this policy and protect students from harm.
