June 2026 Prayer

Dear Church on the Street Family,

We said it at Worship, and we will keep on saying it over and over again to our beloved Church on the Street family. You are created in God's image. You are loved, no matter what the world tells you. 

“Then God said, 'Let us make humans in our image,'" Genesis 1

At June Worship, "The park was filled with the diverse people God created and loves. You’ll never look into someone's face and not see the image of God." 

And in the wise words of Rev. Gary Westgard, "No matter what anyone else may say, Jesus says, I am a Child of God."

Amen and Amen. 

Your love and support for this beloved community matters as we join together in prayer for our neighbors. 

In Creator's Image, 

Pastor Chris & Deacon Mara
