June 2023 Prayers
Dear Church on the Street Family,
Looking back over the month, all I can say is, WOW, we did all of this in June with surprise and wonderment! The month began meeting with the Missional Impact Leaders of the Dakotas Conference of The United Methodist Church, and then we joined the South Dakota Synod of the ELCA's annual assembly. We participated in the first-ever Pride Worship in Sioux Falls. All of this is, of course, in addition, to worship, Laundry with Love, partner visits, street ministry, Bishop Dudley Hospitality House pastoral care visits, AND the food pantry is now feeding over 100 families a month.
Thank you for all of the ways you keep on doing God's work with Church on the Street - donations (quarters, backpacks, and new underwear), volunteers (writing Thank Yous, making/serving meals, and visiting with Church on the Streeters), and for all of the prayers. We need your prayers, we feel your prayers, and for you, we give thanks!
It's great to be Church together!
Pastor Chris
