Dearest Wintergarden Faith Community,
As we continue to pray for one another, our community, our country, and our world, let us do so with love and hope. Our weekly email of prayers is a way for us to share the prayers shared in worship, through the food pantry, and our various other ministries with a larger group. Due to privacy needs we will only include the first names of people and not last names. We also know this list will not be perfect and in need of constant updating. We will review this every week and be mindful of how we are being asked to pray for one another, our community, our country, and our world.
Blessings,
Pastor Devon

Psalmtember!
A prayer opportunity is coming in September. It’s called “psalmtember“. It’s the opportunity to read the book of Psalms each day. Because September has 30 days, it’s easy to break the 150 Psalms into 5 sets of 30. Some have used this as an opportunity to be inspired by the Psalms – in art, activity, prayer… We could even form a group to pray through this if there are folks interested, contact the church office.
