- For the Church, that she may radiate hope and lead others to shine with faith and love, we pray to the Lord:
- For leaders of nations, that they seek peace and justice inspired by compassion and wisdom, we pray to the Lord:
- For those burdened by fear or doubt, that they find strength in God’s enduring promise and the support of those around them, we pray to the Lord:
- For our community, that we may live as lights in the darkness, spreading love and hope through our actions and words, we pray to the Lord:
- For an end to conflicts and divisions in our own communities and abroad, that all people may come together in understanding, cooperation, and love, fostering peace and reconciliation within and across nations, we pray to the Lord:
- For those who are ill and have asked for our prayers, including Becca Scott, Donna Kuhn, Rose Call, Della Huber, Laurie Mosier, Sharon Mikula, Jerry Buscher and Bill Kelly. May all who suffer be healed by God’s loving touch and by the prayers of this community, we pray to the Lord:

Loving Father, You are the source of our hope and the foundation of our faith and love. Hear our prayers and strengthen us to be Your light in the world. We ask this through Christ our Lord.
