On Sunday, our prayers ranged wide—across grief, gratitude, milestones, and movement. Some were spoken in celebration. Some with longing. Some simply to name what is real.
Here’s what we carried together:
Michele gave thanks for a neighbor’s quiet kindness in mowing the Matthews’ lawn. She also asked for prayers, on this Mother’s Day, for parents who have lost children.
Judy expressed gratitude for her own mother, long gone, and lifted up those for whom the relationship with their mothers is painful or unresolved. She also asked for safe travels for her sister and brother-in-law, who are coming to visit.
Rebecca shared joy as Mawce prepares to graduate from high school on May 18. She asked for traveling mercies for the family gathering to celebrate.
Sabrina lifted up prayers for strength and patience for teachers as they move through the final stretch of the school year.
Bob asked for prayers for mothers everywhere—especially those in war zones.
Melanie asked for traveling mercies as she and Bob head out to attend her nephew’s graduation. She also asked for prayers around restoring relationships in her family.
Diane celebrated Jim’s 97th birthday—a long life, marked with presence and community.
Each of these prayers holds its own weight, and together, they shape the kind of community we’re becoming—honest, imperfect, attentive.
