As we continue to pray for one another, our community, our country, and our world, let us do so with love and hope. Our weekly email of prayers is a way for us to share the prayers shared in worship, through the food pantry, and our various other ministries with a larger group. Due to privacy needs we will only include the first names of people and not last names. We also know this list will not be perfect and in need of constant updating. We will review this every week and be mindful of how we are being asked to pray for one another, our community, our country, and our world.
Blessings, Pastor Devon
Prayers of Joy
We all celebrated having Joy with us in worship on Sunday! And were impressed she was using a walker instead of a wheelchair! Praise God!
It was also wonderful to have Weldon back with us after his eye surgery!
We give praise also that Wendy’s cousin, Norm, had a successful surgery last week.
Kymmie expressed joy for a spectacular pantry day last Thursday.
Joy also for Jeff’s birthday. We all celebrate another spin around the globe for him.
Kymmie’s Grandpa is turning 101, which is amazing!
Kymmie also is joyful for our Thanksgiving with 1st Presbyterian Church. [Which was a great success!]
