In worship on August 30, we joined together in holding up these prayers:
For Seattle schools as the school year begins, especially for students and their families who haven't received yet all the resources for a successful school year. May we help the Seattle schools in its work to educate all our students.
That people continue their action to keep elections fair, and that we do our work with empathy and care, and hear one another, but especially that we support young leaders who show us the way.
For family members who care for us, that they receive from you, O God, the strength to carry on.
For those who care for us and for those who will care for us.
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)
