September 2022 Prayers
Dear Church on the Street Family,
Now that congregations are back into fall programming, I am visiting partners from Aberdeen to Woonsocket, and I'd love to tell your congregation about the fantastic ways the Spirit is at work at Church on the Street! Also, our schedule is filling up for worship and Laundry With Love for 2023. You can reach me by email at chris@churchonthestreetsf.org or call me at 605-215-1143.
As the weather changes, folks are already figuring out where to spend the winter months. Housed people are starting to search for warm clothing for their kids who outgrew or wore out what they used last year. Your prayers and donations mean so much to Church on the Streeters.
Finally, our excellent staff is growing. We are thankful for Luke, Harriet, and Becky! Now, we welcome Skylar as the Director of Organization. Because of your generosity, we have donations, food, and kits to manage and distribute.
It's great to be Church together!
Pastor Chris

A Child of God - I hesitate to take the mask off. I sometimes want to sit in my misery - it’s what I know and comfortable with. But God..! He alerts my closest people. The hustle and streets mentality surfaces and minimizes the patience and truth that God has already taught me. He always provides and on time but my flesh allows me to panic and worry. My soul misses my kid, but I can’t provide for him right now. He deserves the world and I feel like I don’t deserve him. Prayer for strength and encouragement. Thank you, God bless
