St. PETER’s CHURCH PARTNERS IN PRAYER
OCTOBER 2019 PRAYER LIST
As we start our annual stewardship campaign and appeal, we pray that the people of St. Peter’s Church will find their hearts moved by the fact that Jesus Christ made the biggest and most difficult stewardship pledge of all for us.

The family and friends of Dave Staley as they mourn his death, especially his wife Pat, son Paul, daughters Lisa and Laura, and many grandchildren.
And we pray for those whose grief is known to God alone who silently carry on while His Healing Grace works within them to transform, renew, and restore their hearts and souls and minds and spirits.

We pray for men and women in the military, especially those actively in harm’s way, and their families, and for the families of those who have died in service. And we pray for the mutilated, maimed, and wounded; and for those still fighting on distant battlefields, though they appear to be home.
ALMIGHTY AND EVERLIVING GOD: Accept our prayers for these people afflicted and troubled with unhealthiness in their bodies, or in their hearts and souls, or in their minds and spirits. In Your Mercy, Lord, relieve them of and release them from their burdens; and grant them patience under their sufferings. And, if it be Thy Merciful and Loving Will, grant them an expedient and happy outcome from their trials. We ask all this in the Name of Your Son Jesus Christ, Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, One God, now and forever. AMEN
