Prayers
We celebrate with Anita Thomas and Karl Sluis, the birth of their first Grandchild, Henry Jeffrey Sluis and bless them as they welcome him into their lives.
For all who have not been granted the healing they desire and for all who cannot access the care they need, send social workers, doctors, parish nurses, and other caregivers. Today we pray especially for Darlene Jorgenson, Shannan Gautschi, Arden Kirkendall, John Malecha, Rick Reisdorph, Jack Zirkle, Nancy Klein, Carroll Potter, Joe Bailey, Julie Swedberg, Christopher Sluis, Kathy Lovik, and Judi Wold. Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer.
Heavenly Father, we pray for those who have recently lost loved ones, especially today we pray for Mary Danielson & family upon the death of Mary’s brother, Frank . Surround them with your love as they grieve this loss in their lives.
