March 2025 Prayer Requests

Dear Church on the Street Family,

In this season of Lent, prayers and needs continue to rise, including deep cries for healing and mercy in the lives of many individuals with Church on the Street and around the world. We continue to pray for healing, love, and mercy trusting in the hope of new life to come. We trust in the promise that comes to us each day as we are united as one body of Christ, through death and resurrection. 

We are deeply grateful for the supportive community that has come together in collective action of God's work in this world. Especially in moments where injustice and greed directly affect those who are already oppressed by the systems of this world, Christ's love and action are made known as people of faith are called to live out of love for the neighbor. 

Thank you for continuing to hold your neighbors and the body of Christ in your prayers today and always. 

It's great to be Church together!
Pastor Chris & Intern Deacon Mara
