Among our concerns, we add to our prayers two who have had:

• Susan Pearson, who is now home recovering after a stint in the hospital

• Brandon LaCross, who is also now home recovering from a cardiac arrest episode he endured last week

We continue to lift up:

• Roger Davidson, recovering from surgery

• Lela Cox

• Bill Poores

• Laura Cohthhril

• Danny Jablonski

• For the friends of our extended community and families undergoing health challenges; Raven, Margo, Steve and Jose.

We lift up our homebound friends:

• Charlene Housman

Among our local and global community:

• We pray for peace and compassion throughout the world. Amongst many who find themselves in places of conflict or struggle for justice and peace. We pray for an end to the genocide in Gaza, for those facing political violence and acts of war around the world, including Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Ukraine and Somalia.

• For the village on 6th and Orchard and for those who find themselves without shelter.

• And last but not least, we lift up our Global Ministries Partners, this week in the Republic of the Congo.
