Seventh Sunday of Pentecost 
July 2012

  

 

 

Sunday's Gospel reading is the unpleasant story of Herod's daughter dancing and, what followed, the decapitation of John the Baptist. Come to worship to hear what this has to do with us. 

 

 
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 those 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 Campo 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 East

 

For all who are recovering: Jonathan Partsch (healing of broken bones in his leg and wrist), Margaret (healing following hip surgery), Gregorio (Antonia's brother) 

 

For those who have cancer: Arlene, Betty, Miriam Brustuen, Jennifer Doebler's brother Scot, David Robertson, Brian Stone, Ray Stumpf and Charlie Witmer, and for those who care for them


For Lucas' mother and Charlie Kurtz, both doing rehabilitation following brain aneurisms 

 

For healing for Martha, JR, David, Foy, Steve and Jan, Ron and Rachel, Nathan and Erin, Laura Johnson, Jackson's friend Matt, and Troy

 

For those who continue to seek meaningful employment 

 

For the DREAMERS on their journey

 

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

 

For those who are traveling and vacationing that they may be safe and enjoy their adventures

  

For the youth of the ELCA who will gather in New Orleans this week, that they may travel safely, be open to amazing experiences, and grow into the people God has created them to be

  

For Pastor Jeff as he prepares for traveling to Palestine and Israel
