February 2022 Prayers

Dear Church on the Street Family,

At the February worship, we heard Jesus say that God's blessings are poured on every person, especially those going through the hardest of times. Thanks to East Side Lutheran Church we also shared a meal, and, of course, there was amazing fellowship. We give thanks for all of our ministry partners.

Our month ended with Health and Healing on February 26! Volunteers and 220 attendees had a wonderful afternoon together! To get a glimpse of the day, watch this Keloland story.

Below you will find the many prayer requests from worship, Laundry with Love, and Health and Healing because there is power in prayer. The people you pray for are incredibly thankful that you remember them and include them.

Thank you for holding this ministry and the beloved people of God in your prayers as we begin the season of Lent.

Thanks for your continued support and partnership!

God’s peace,
Pastor Chris
