March 2026 Prayer

Dear Church on the Street Family,

We give thanks for another month and the changing seasons, with hope for spring to come. 

As we continue the journey through Lent and look toward the celebration of Easter, we trust in God's promises for all people. Promises of love, mercy, and the living water that comes through Christ Jesus, Savior of the people. 

Whether at the laundromat, on the street, in the pantry, in the park, or anywhere we are, we trust that God meets us there. God is there in our grief and joy, so we share these prayers of the people. 

Join us in prayer for one another and for the whole community. 

Journeying together in the promise of God's love!

Pastor Chris & Deacon Mara

Please lift these prayer requests, given to us with the great trust and hope of a promise that God answers prayers.
