This week's community joys & concerns from May 10, 2026

Among our joys this morning:

• Celebrating Ginny & David Quiring 57th wedding anniversary.

Among our community’s concerns, we add: 

• Lela Cox, the doctor, has put her chemotherapy on hold so she may see a cardiologist for her current heart problems. 

• Pat McDaniel, who was taken to Tacoma General last Sunday.  Her husband Bill, currently (as of Thursday), has no updates from the doctor.

  
  

We continue to pray for: 

• Laura Cohthril

• Marc Master

We pray for the friends and family of our extended community: 

• Mike

• George

• Raven

• Margo

• Steve

• We lift up our homebound friends and those for whom making it to Church is increasingly a difficult thing to do to a variety of challenges. Let us remember all those who feel isolated, and in our prayers, do what we can to remind them that we love them and miss them. Among them, we pray for Anita Thompson, Dorothy Beeles, Norma Carolyn, Phyllis Jacobsen, Harry Lobberegt, Pat Lien, Charlene Housman, Lela Cox, Marc Master, and Irene McBride.

Among our local and global community:

• We lift to God the village on 6th and Orchard, for those seeking shelter and community of many kinds, and for God's spirit to nudge us to the people and places where we might best use our resources to do ministry like Jesus would do - without prejudice, without hatred, with hope and joy and confident inclusion

• We pray for all involved in the war in Iran, for the just treatment of all of God’s children, and for a de-escalation of all violence spoken and acted upon in the name of our Creator.

• Last but not least, please join me in lifting our Global Ministries partners this week in Palestine.
