February 2026 Prayer

Dear Church on the Street Family,

We love because God first loved us. God is love, and we see this love shared when we gather. 

God's love was shared at the Health and Healing event at the end of January, when many prayers were submitted. God's love is shared through faithful partners and community in Worship. God's love shared in food and friendship at the laundromat. Whenever we gather, we recognize God's abundant love. God's love is more powerful than hate, and even more powerful than death. 

We give thanks for this love, made known and shared in the beloved people of Church on the Street, whose prayers are listed below. 

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

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