This week's community joys & concerns from Nov. 1, 2026
Among our joys, it's my pleasure to announce that our dear friend Justin Carlson is with us in worship today! For those who don't know Justin, Justin spent a year with us as an interim when he was studying for his Master of Divinity a couple of years ago and is back in town for a few weeks visiting friends. Justin, it's so good to have you here with us this morning! Blessings on your travels, and thank you for paying us a visit!
Among our concerns, we pray for those on a healing journey. We lift up:
Bill Poores
Betty Alvarado’s husband
Roger Davidson
Don Nagorski, Matt Nagorski's father
Pat McDaniel
Sue Simpson
Tim Hickox
We lift up our homebound friends and those for whom making it to Church is increasingly a difficult thing to do due to a variety of challenges among them; we pray for:
Among our local and global community:
We pray for the Village on 6th and Orchard, for the families and their dogs living here at our village, and for the web of agencies and ministries of which we are part in this region powered by a passion for caring for the least among us. As the weather begins to turn cold, now is the time for us to reaffirm our commitment to working for justice and equity for the housing and health for all of God's children.
Last but not least, please join me in lifting up our Global Ministries partners this week in Afghanistan.
