In worship last Sunday, we joined together in holding up these prayers:
• For fire season being less intense this year, offering a bit of break to our first responders, and stressed earth.
• Folks offered grateful hearts to God for all the progress and support in health. And the ways we can help one another in this time of stress. For continued love and mercy. For peace on earth.
• Others prayed for knowledge of the good in ourselves, to love self, to continue to heal, to become whole.
We continue to lift in prayer:
• For Jim and Ruth welcoming their grand baby this week! Congratulations!!! Joyful prayers around you all!
• Prayers surround Maureen's sister Teresa through surgery for cancer.
• With Dorothy's son Michael in his continued recovery from his tumor, so he might be free future surgeries.
• All our Keystone families and extended families being impacted by Covid, and those facing illness and injuries, and for those who grieve loved ones lost this year.
• For the Keystone community, getting out the vote, having fresh conversations with family.
• Caregivers at Keystone, offering devoted love to those with whom they live. For grace, holy patience, & humor.
• The Seattle Taiwanese Christian Church UCC, The Wallingford Co-Op PreSchool, The Seattle Labor Chorus, The Seattle Peace Chorus, The Meaningful Movies Project, Communities Rising, and our other many building users, figuring out news ways to be right now!
• Families & teachers at Keystone, who are figuring fall plans for youth scholars, college scholars, and for children who will have a new design than their daycare, preschool, or school.
Holy God ... hear our prayers!
These prayers are crafted to carry those shared in worship to our whole community, in the general spirit in which they were given (a leader notes as others pray.) Also send Rev. Lauren prayer requests, and we can add them to our online worship. Also add your prayers to the Zoom chat box during live worship, and we can fold them in to the spoken prayer time.
