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
Prayers of Joy

We join in the celebration of a fun-filled panty day last week. They had Halloween inspired, fun-filled serving our neighbors.
Concerns
We were notified that Barbara fell and broke her hip on Saturday night. She’s had surgery and will be released in a few more days. We will be seeking ways we can bless her and Fred during this time. In the meantime, pray for healing and patience as she rehabs and recovers.
Julie’s high school friend, Amanda, had a baby, Ally Jean, last week. Ally Jean needed heart surgery, but was too weak. Sadly she passed at only a few days old. Prayers for all who loved Ally Jean and for the loss of the life they dreamed for her.
Prayers also for Colleen’s surgery today.
Please also pray for Cecilia’s knee, as they continue her orthopedic journey.
Continued healing prayers for Heather’s son, Ben who is very ill.
Pray also for Wendy’s friend, Chloe in Alaska. Chloe is in her late 20s but in the hospital with endocarditis, which is an inflammation of the heart valve. She was in YWAM training (Youth with a Mission) to be a missionary when she was hospitalized. Chloe is one of Wendy’s former youth group kids.
Kymmie requests prayer and love for an amazing person to know how amazing she is.

For people of all faiths all around the world, for world peace, and also for peace in our own lives.
