Prayer Connection Week of Jan 20, 2008

Raise our vision above the barriers of color, culture, and creed that separate us. Give us wisdom as we deal with one another. Help us to recognize and to respect different ways, rather than to judge. In the Spirit of Jesus who came not to be served, but to serve, we now must walk n the world. We must reach out our hands with help and open our hearts in love. Awake our desire to seek your way of serving you in the world. Amen.
(The Book of Worship, 423: "Human Relations Day")

If you wish to add a name to the Prayer Connection, please fill out a card in the pew pocket and put in the offering plate. You may also call the church office or email your prayer requests to Rev. Susan at revheafheun@gmail.com. Prayer requests will remain on the connection for three weeks and then be rotated off to allow new prayers to be shared.

Join others on Sunday morning at 8:55am for prayer in the Prayer Room. You are invited to join in prayer every evening at 9:00pm as we pause to pray for those serving in the military and for a quick end to war.
