April 2026 Prayer
Dear Church on the Street Family,
Christ is risen! Christ is risen indeed, alleluia!
We celebrate the joy of new life through the resurrection of Christ Jesus in this season. A season of new life, new growth on the trees, rain to nourish the earth, and warmer weather for folks on the street.
Each day we arise to witness God's promise of new life for all people. As we live, freed from sin, we look outward to serve our neighbors. All of God's beloved people. Thank you for continuing to love and pray for your neighbors at Church on the Street.
Join us in prayer for one another and for the whole community.
Journeying together in the promise of God's love!
Pastor Chris & Deacon Mara
