Ralph and Ruth, friends Juli Gillespie

Prayers for students, teachers and administrators at the College of Wooster as they adjust to the new reality of on-line learning for the remainder of the semester.
Continued prayers for all the schools in our community as they continue to grapple with challenges related to rising numbers of Covid infections.
Prayers of gratitude for the members of the Immigrant Worker Project for all they do to help asylum seekers and immigrant workers in our area during these challenging times. We are thankful for the partnership Westminster shares with IWP.
Prayers for those who struggle with isolation due to the pandemic; who miss the comfort of a hug or hand shake; whose emotional and mental health is affected by the lack of in-person contact.
Prayers for all of those affected by the new waves of Covid-19 infections in this country and across the world. We pray for wisdom and guidance for all decision makers, for health-workers caring for the sick; for essential workers who assure that we can go on with our daily business; those who lost loved ones. May each of us do everything to protect the wellbeing and safety of others.
During this election season, as we are overwhelmed with so much divisive rhetoric, we pray for wisdom and guidance so our faith community could show love and compassion in the face of hatred.
