Prayers from Sunday, June 16, 2025
This week, we brought forward moments of gratitude, affection, and ache. Each one a small window into a life held with care.
Rebecca gave thanks for safe travels home for Ben and Scott, and shared how meaningful it was that their queer children were received with kindness and affirmation. That kind of welcome leaves a mark.
Joan shared that she’s now 90% moved into her new home at Balfour. She’s thankful for everyone who showed up to help—a big transition, made lighter by good company.
Katherine added simply, “We love those Glancy kids.” Sometimes love doesn’t need explaining.
Dave lifted up Lance, who was caught in the middle of last Sunday’s violence. His prayer reached beyond the moment—for healing across every place still aching.
Each name, each story, helps us remember who we are to one another. This is how we practice being a community.
