 Prayers this week
In all things pray! Please remember these petitions in your daily prayers.

For the people of Gaza and Israel and for their leaders, that they may find their way back to peace
For newcomers to the Chapel that we might see and welcome them as we would wish to be welcomed and that they might find what it is they seek For healing:- for Pepe's mother Juanita Sanchez, who is hospitalized and undergoing tests

- for those undergoing cancer treatment, especially Kirsten (Tom Ray's friend), Geri (Kristin Bass's mother), Pam and her husband Jeff (friends of Louise & Pr. Jeff)
For those who are struggling - sometimes silently - to survive in our society and are seeking security amid a world that seems cruelly filled with bounty
For families and friends through this holiday season when busy-ness can add undue stress, when the absence of loved ones can be overwhelming, for those in relationships that are coming apart, that they may be comforted in this time of loss
For those who continue to seek viable employment and those discerning new vocational paths
For all Muslims and Christians and the leaders of both faiths that the violence and antagonism of today will be replaced with love and respect
