- For the Church, that it may always guide families to grow in faith, love, and holiness, we pray to the Lord:
- For leaders of nations, that they may create policies that support the dignity and stability of families, we pray to the Lord:
- For families experiencing discord or hardship, that they may find healing, reconciliation, and strength through God’s grace, we pray to the Lord:
- For family structures that look different from ours, that our hearts may be open to embrace family in all forms, we pray to the Lord:
- For those who are alone or without family, that they may find comfort and belonging within the family of God, we pray to the Lord:
- For those who are ill and have asked for our prayers, including, Ron Brixius, and Jeff Konkol. May all who suffer be healed by God’s loving touch and by the prayers of this community, we pray to the Lord:
- For those who have died, that they may rejoice forever in the presence of the Lord, and for all who mourn, that they may find peace and hope in the promise of Christ’s coming, we pray to the Lord:
