April 2022 Prayers
Dear Church on the Street Family,
At the April worship, we celebrated the risen Lord with songs, hearing God's word, a meal, and even an Easter egg hunt. Thanks to First Lutheran Church for providing space, a great meal, and Pastor Jeff preaching. Thanks to Peace Lutheran Church we had over 3,400 eggs to find. We give thanks for all of our ministry partners, and we look forward to getting back to Heritage Park for worship on May 14th!
The prayer requests listed below are many, and people are so thankful to know you care for them in your prayers. People call and text them in to be added when things arise as well as write them when we gather at worship and at Laundry With Love. At times we all feel lonely and isolated, but through the power of prayer we are held, and that gives strength for the day.
Thank you for holding this ministry and the beloved people of God in your prayers.
Thanks for your continued support and partnership!
God’s peace,
Pastor Chris
