Sunday’s worship invited us to trust that God’s renewal can take root even in the hardest seasons—that joy and comfort grow alongside grief, not instead of it. Our prayers this week stretch across that whole landscape.
Prayers of the People:
-
Amy asks us to hold her friend Judy and Judy’s husband, who has been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. Doctors estimate only a few weeks remain. We pray for gentleness in each day, for comfort that holds them close, and for strength for all who love them.
-
Rebecca gives thanks that Ben arrived home safely for Thanksgiving and lifts up all who are traveling this week. In particular, we pray for Mawce as they fly home alone for the first time on Tuesday, and for Nick and Anna as they travel to see family—trusting that home, in all its forms, will feel steady and kind.
May these prayers rest in the care of the One who brings beauty from ashes and renewal from weary ground, holding us all in love in these tender days.
