A line drawing in gray of two hands holding a heart, behind words in red that read “Prayers of the People”
In worship on Sept. 20, we joined together in holding up these prayers:
For the everyday workers for justice, especially teachers who are trying to keep learning equitable and alive.
For teachers who are rallying with and for their students across all educational systems.
For the life of Ruth Bader Ginsberg, her courage and her ability to carry on, we thank you for her life of bringing about justice in the world.
For students who are already struggling with education, who are already vulnerable, and who cannot manage these new forms of online school. May we find a way forward to make our education system something that supports them. We pray for their lives, and for those who are in need of our help and our blessings.
For all those who are in cages, who have lost everything but their lives, and for those who have lost their lives. For those who have died of Covid. Help us get better leaders who will make our country better.
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), while guarding their privacy as this newsletter is carried into the digital world. 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)
