Prayer List
During the week, we invite your prayers this week for those in need in our community and around the world, including:
For our parish as we lean forward gracefully into a new future
For Duane and Bishop Mark as they recover from surgery
For each of us as we prepare for the beginning of Lent
For the 200 workers and their families at Pacific Steel who have lost their jobs because of an ICE audit (raid)
For the DREAMERS as they prepare to walk to Washington DC
For Brach our new teaching parish student
For all who are looking for work
For all who are in transition or discernment
For undocumented people in detention and those who are in jail, especially Troy
For all who continue to mourn, especially April and her family, Miriam and Bob and their family, Brian and Marsha and their family
For those celebrating birthdays and anniversaries
Think about starting a new habit of prayer with your family this week -- around the table before a meal, before bedtime, in the morning as you prepare to depart for a busy day.
