September 2024 Prayers

Dear Church on the Street Family,

Your prayers matter. Prayer requests are always filled out as people gather for Laundry with Love and Worship. Pastor Chris and Intern Deacon Mara also get calls and texts with prayers. We can always share with folks that they are being held in prayer, trusting in your care and love for all who share prayer requests. 

During Worship in September Pastor Jonathan Vehar, from the SD Synod Office installed Intern Deacon Mara. We didn't get any pictures, but during Laundry with Love on Septmeber 24th, the mobile haircut unit provided haircuts. And a tasty meal was served outdoors as well. As we move further into the fall season, we prepare to move Worship from the park to the Multicultural Center. 

Thanks be to God for your continuing partnership in prayer and caring for all of God's people.

It's great to be Church together!

Pastor Chris & Intern Deacon Mara

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