Our Rostered Leaders and their families especially...

• Compton Cooper, spouse of Rev. Kimberly Schmidt-Cooper, (St. Timothy, Wayne);

• Rev. Carl Joecks (retired);

​

​All who are impacted by wildfires and flooding;

​

The people of Israel and Palestine besieged by violence, that peace would prevail;

​

​All who work to eradicate racism and reform unjust systems;

​

All victims of gun violence around our country;

 

All people around the world living in places of violence and war.​​

​

 

Let us pray,

O God,
Where hearts are fearful and constricted, grant courage and hope.
Where anxiety is infectious, grant peace and reassurance.
Where impossibilities close every door and window, grant imagination and resistance.
Where distrust twists our thinking, grant healing and illumination.
Where spirits are daunted and weak, grant soaring wings and strengthened dreams.
We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen.
