· Prayers for this Week
· For police officers, who put on their uniform and go to work knowing each day might be their last, but go anyway...
· For soldiers who fight for justice and freedom and against oppression and tyranny...
· For families and churches alike who grapple with their brokenness even as they try to love one another...
· For people who just seem to want to fight, for those who just want to make peace, and for those stuck in the middle, Lord, remind us that you are with us all!
· Thanks, as always, to everyone for your continued support of the work and ministry of our congregations!
