July 2026 Prayer

Dear Church on the Street Family,

After a month of sweltering temps, we give thanks for the rain and cooler weather as July comes to a close. 

July has brought us together at the laundromat, the park, the pantry, and out and about on the street. We are sent forth, scattered to share the abundant love and mercy that God showers the world with. 

We look toward August, when we will worship together and bless our neighbors in worship with a back-to-school blessing.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership in ministry. 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.
