Koinonia Prayer List

PRAYER REQUESTS (joys and concerns) should be called in or e-mailed to the church office. With your permission, they will be listed in the Koinonia prayer list, and announced in worship so that the church family can pray for the mentioned needs. Please keep the office updated on the requests.

Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words.   Romans 8:26

Weekly Prayers 
Morning:

As the sun rises, Lord, Let your light shine on me. 
Destroy the darkness about me, Scatter the darkness before me, 
Disperse the darkness behind me, Dispel the darkness within me.
Let your light shine on me. 

As the sun rises, Lord, Let your light shine on me. 
The warmth of your Presence, The brightness of your love, 
The radiance of your joy, The shining of your hope. 
Let your light shine on me. 

As the sun rises, Lord, Let your light shine on me. 
Your light to guide, Your light to lead, 
Your light to direct, Your light to brighten. 
Let your light shine on me.

-- David Adam, in "Power Lines: Celtic Prayers About Work"
Evening

Long warm days...
The pace of life slows...
A time for picnics and rest in the shade...
Lord, help me to rest awhile
in the cooling shade of your presence.
Slow down my restless heart and
fill me with gentle compassion for all your people.
