Fellowship After (Q-Z)

COVID-19 cases are once again rising across the United States, and health experts believe a new variant, called XFG or ‘stratus,’ may be to blame. The increase is happening earlier than expected, and we are also entering cold and flu season!!!

Please try to stay healthy! We just want everyone to be cautious. If you are not feeling well, please test or quarantine until you are feeling better.

Prayer of the Week: A Prayer for National Healing

Great Healer,

You are the only one who can truly heal our broken land. We pray for healing- physical, spiritual, and societal. Uproot bitterness and division. Heal the wounds of injustice and the scars of pain. Let Your healing flow through cities, communities, and leaders alike.

We confess that our land is torn by division – racial, political, and generational. But You are a God who brings people together. Heal the chasms between communities. Help is see another with compassion. Let bridges be built, not barriers. Unite us in love, purpose, and respect. Amen
