+ MAY WE PRAY FOR YOU?
The principal kinds of prayer are adoration, praise, thanksgiving, penitence, oblation, intercession, and petition. (BCP p.856)

The Parish Prayer list is included in the monthly newsletter that is sent through the mail. Additional copies are also available on the table in the narthex and on our website. To add your prayer needs to the list, you can contact Fr. James, Nancy Haas, or use the form on our website.

We received some prayer requests from our neighbors during the Overbrook Park Community Day last week. Specifically:

• Carol G asks for prayers for her difficult health of late and that she find the right new job
• Tameka McGill asks for prayers that she be a good mom
• Miya Mack (pronounced ‘Mee-ya’) asks for prayers that God’s love would be felt throughout our city and that it would help bring an end to the violence

Additionally, we have a prayer request from a visitor at our Sunday service on the 12th that will be going on the prayer list for Thursdays: His name is Daniel and he asks for prayers of healing and wisdom.

James 5:16 Therefore confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of the righteous is powerful and effective.
