March 2023 Prayers
Dear Church on the Street Family,
Church on the Street is planning a joyful Easter worship on Saturday, April 8th complete with a meal and an Easter Egg Hunt over the holiday weekend. Partners from the South Dakota Synod Staff, Committee Members, and volunteers from dozens of local congregations are preparing to praise the Risen Lord together.
I am continually amazed at the partnerships that form when folks hear the story of Church on the Street because the need for assistance is growing. More families are accessing our small food pantry, and Laundry With Love welcomes more families each month.
We're certainly called to celebrate the abundant life given to us in Jesus and share that with our neighbors near and far. Today, I ask that you pray for all of these dear folks. The promise that they are known and prayed for means so much.
It's great to be Church together!
Pastor Chris
