Sixth Sunday of Pentecost 
July 2012

  

 

 

In the Gospel reading for this coming Sunday, we hear about the ministry of Jesus and about the work of his chosen twelve as they also preach and heal. Now we are those witnesses sent to testify to Christ and to bring healing to others.

 

 
Prayer List 

 

Start a practice of praying for the Chapel community this week -- around the table before a meal, before bedtime, in the morning as you prepare to depart for a busy day. Use this list and remember those in need. We invite your prayers:

 

For our community

 

For all who grieve, especially  

  • Pr. John Frykmann who grieves the death of his beloved spouse Cheryl Arnold
  • Pr. Steve Sabin who grieves the death of his father  
  • Antonia and her family after the shootings in Oakland wounding three and killing one member of her family 

For those affected by wildfires in the west and by the extreme temperatures in the midwest and the eastern part of our country

 

For all recovering from surgery

 

For those who have cancer

 

For the DREAMERS

 

For Carmen, our intern, and her discernment team, Judy, Don, Sarah, and Emma 

 

For Martha, Jennifer's brother Scot, David, Arlene, JR, Brian, David, Foy, Steve and Jan, Ron and Rachel, Nathan and Erin, Betty, Jonathan, Margaret, David and Sally, Laura, Lucas' mother, Jackson's friend Matt, Charlie, Ray, and Troy.
