Redeemed and Restored

 Prayers for the Week of August 31

This week in worship we heard the story of friends breaking open a roof to bring someone into Jesus’s presence. It’s a reminder that healing and grace often arrive through community—through persistence, courage, and love that makes space where there was none.

We carry that same spirit into our prayers: lifting one another up, breaking through barriers of silence, and trusting God’s presence to meet us here.

Prayers of the People:

• Steve asks prayers for Michele, who is dealing with ongoing belly issues. We pray for healing and relief.

May these prayers rise like the faith of those who cleared a way—opening space for hope, healing, and restoration among us.
