Jubilee Verse for the Week
Romans 12: 2
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world,
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is
--his good, pleasing and perfect will.
-Pray for persons who are in need of God’s touch of physical healing.
Pray for Linford Landis, Linda Allebach, Donald Dolan (Fire Co.),
Joe and Esther Pearson, Hannah Metzler, Peter Zucca, Connor
Raifsnider, and Horace Bergey.
-Pray for persons who are currently dealing with fractured or
strained relationships. Pray for open communications to be enabled
as well as humility and grace that can lead to forgiveness.
-Please pray for Sarahlyn Knechel as she spends the next week in
Nicaragua doing health care work. Pray for this to be a time of
learning and growing for her as she serves the people there. Pray
also for health and safety for her throughout her trip.
-Pray for Jason and Trisha DiTullio who are mourning the loss of
their unborn child. Pray for God’s strong embrace of comfort and
peace to be upon them throughout this difficult journey.
-Continue to pray for our community as we reflect on the tragic loss
of life a few weeks ago and seek ways to rebuild our spirit of trust and
hope in each other and in our future. Pray for God’s healing hand of
love and mercy to be evident and that a renewed trust in God would
be the result.
