August 2026 Prayer

Dear Church on the Street Family,

August was a month of abundant blessings. A chance to send all who gathered for Worship, with the reminder of God's love, to share with our neighbors. 

As a Neighbors in Solidarity Ministry, we always give thanks for the support and love from our siblings in Christ, who make it possible for Church on the Street to exist. 

Over 200 backpacks stocked with school supplies were distributed, along with a delicious meal in the park. Along with the back-to-school sending, haircuts and back-to-school photos for all took place at Laundry With Love. 

It's great to be church together!

In God's abundant love,

Pastor Chris & Deacon Mara

Please lift these prayer requests, given to us with the great trust and hope of a promise that God answers prayers.

Lord, in your mercy,

Hear our prayers. Amen.
