Prayers of the People - June 3 through 9, 2007
Alicia's grandmother, Mary, who suffers from Alzheimers disease, is waiting to relocate from a rehabilitation facility to a nursing home in New Canaan, Connecticut. Please pray that she will continue receiving good care before, during and after her move. Pray, too, for peace of mind for her and all her family.
Let's pray for all those who are separated from their loved ones by war, imprisonment, or economic hardship. Pray, too, for those who are missing, and those who wait for them. Lord, have mercy.
As our nation's leaders debate the course of the war in Iraq, may they humbly ask God to grant them insight, moral courage, and a genuine desire for a non-partisan, peaceful solution to the conflict there and here at home.
"Then shall the young women rejoice in the dance," prophesied Jeremiah (Jer. 31:13). And so they shall - next Sunday! Five young women from Jubilee Christian Church in Mattapan, friends of Rachel, will be with us next Sunday, June 10, to worship the Lord through liturgical dance. Let us welcome them warmly and be led into a new and deeper kind of worship.
