  • John, patience on this long road to diagnosis so treatment can begin. Barb, to let our hope continually buoy yours.

  • Sandie, broken shoulder and arm, from a fall, at new place. For swelling to go down, so treatment and rehab can begin.

  • Gus for the love of music to reach you amidst the heat.

  • For action on Climate change, may this heat dome, move us to deeply and faithfully engage the work.

  • For our friends at Northshore UCC, and Pastor Dave for restful break.

  • For the realm of God built on interdependence.

  • To dare to dream a better world, free of violence and injustice.

  • For safe travels for Margaret, for Connie & Rich V with Connie’s mother and siblings.

  • For a radically different way of organizing our lives and community.

  • For a world organized not on oppressive misguided purity lines but for benefit of ALL.

  • That ALL may know their sacred worth, God Loves us all.

Holy God, in your mercy ... hear our prayers!
