In worship on August 23, we joined together in holding up these prayers:
For loved ones who are facing the challenges of illnesses.
For caregivers who take good care of us, and give us love and respect along with their care, and for future caregivers who will also give energy, love and help.
For people and families who are suffering during this pandemic.
For students, teachers, and all the people who are returning to school in any form this year. Help us help them make the best decisions. For marginalized children, especially children detained on the border who still haven't been reunited with their families, that we can support them and be with them, and that we remember it was us that harmed them.
For California as fire rage in that state, and the firefighters who are fighting those fires.
For opportunities to connect each week.
Our prayers continue to surround:
Families & teachers at Keystone, who are figuring fall plans to work while they support our youth scholars, our college scholars, and our children in this new year out of their cherished daycares, preschools, & elementary schools.
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 (one pastor or leader makes note as one prays.) We also especially welcome you to send Rev. Lauren your note during the week with any prayer request, we are so happy to incorporate it into our online worship (if you may not be up for voicing it). We are also always glad for you to add your prayers to the Zoom chat box during live worship, and we can fold them in to the spoken prayers. Contact Keystone's pastors for any pastoral concerns (contact info is below and at the bottom of this newsletter)
