​

Please submit names to Lisa in the church office for inclusion on the prayers list. All requests run for four weeks at a time. If a name should continue to be on the list after that time, please contact Lisa again to continue the request for an additional four weeks. Please note that, we’ll reset the prayer list a few other times per year, as well.

 

This week at Grace, please remember in prayer:

Dave Grant, Lana Tice, John Wharton, Mark Soroko, Kathy Sanguinet, Walker McCoy, Beatriz Ferdandez, Chris Szymanski, Dorene Cash, Corey Warrington, Emily Eilers, Bev Vertuno, Reed Kallestad, Joe McRory; Allison Heffner and baby Lydia; Geri and Donald Kurtz; Jim and Nancy Banks; Pastor Jenn and Rob Kopacz; Mike Russell and family; the family and friends of Jerry Taber.

 

All those affected by the Canadian fires; all those impacted by ICE Raids; Global Refuge, Lutheran Services in America, and all those who receive support and services from them; the people of Grace Lutheran Church, our Congregational Council and Pastor Jenn; St. Stephen Lutheran Church and Pastor Tom Holdcraft; the Florida-Bahamas Synod and our Bishop, Pedro Suarez; the ELCA; and our Presiding Bishop, Yehiel Curry.

​

Please also lift up: 

Anywhere there is war, oppression and unrest. World leaders, that they may lead by example, and seek paths of peace, justice and mercy. Our own government, that they may be moved to stand up for the needy, the neglected and the oppressed. Give them courage to speak truth to power, and to be strong, compassionate leaders for all people. 

 

Victims of gun violence; victims of hate crimes. The sick, suffering and dying; the homeless and the hungry; military personnel and their families; first responders; those who are incarcerated; all those whose needs are known only to God.
