April 2025 Prayer Requests

Dear Church on the Street Family,

Christ is Risen!
Christ is Risen indeed, Alleluia!

This month we came together to hear the good news that unites us as one body of Christ. Through death and resurrection, we are joined in new life and a new covenant that is made know in Christ Jesus. We also had so much fun with 5,000 Easter eggs to be found after eating together as community. 

While we celebrate the good news of Easter we are also aware that we live in a Good Friday world. Many still know all too well the pain, suffering, and injustices that this world brings. Please continue to hold the community of Church on the Street in your prayers. We continue to support one another in the midst of joyful celebrations and the hardships of this world. 

Thank you for continuing to hold your neighbors and the body of Christ in your prayers today and always. 

It's great to be Church together!
Pastor Chris & Almost Deacon Mara
