This week at Grace, please remember in prayer: 

Scott Oatman, Karen Bradley, Peggy Elliot, Tawni Glover, Theresa Miller, Jim Frey, Gayle Moore, Gerry Kurtz, Donald Kurtz, Corey Warrington, Susan Crolla, Chris Szymanski, Jerry Taber, Emily Eilers, James Cook Jr., Dave Grant, Buddy Dewar, Joyce Hughes, Bev Vertuno, Reed Kallestad, Joe McRory, Annabelle Grace, Scott Littlefield, Amanda Littlefield, Kyle Lewis, Karen; Jim and Nancy Banks; Dennis and Toni Jackson; Rosie Shupe and Lori Kietzer; the family of Lisa James, especially Jackie, London and Lawson James; the family of Sharon Oeltjen; the family of Thelma Webster. 

 

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 Cuba; the people of Haiti; the people of Ukraine; 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:

All the people of the Middle East, in particular the people of Israel, Gaza, and Iran, and our service women and service men in that region, that they would remain safe from harm. 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 the 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.
