March 2024 Prayers

Dear Church on the Street Family,

Sometimes, a text message makes me stop and realize who we are called to be as Church on the Street. That happened the week after we celebrated Easter at worship when I got the message from the van driver, "When we dropped off our passengers at Bishop Dudley, a little girl said, "We are home." 

We celebrate our risen Lord with a little girl who lives in a shelter and amazing volunteers who came from Watertown. We share the good news of our risen Lord as the one who gives life and salvation to the world.

While we celebrate, we also pray for God's beloved people, knowing our Lord hears our prayers. For this, we give thanks.

Happy Easter!

It's great to be Church together!
Pastor Chris
