Please let Rev. Nita know if you can take on this volunteer task. ~ Intersessions of Prayer: The intersession sheet will be left in the foyer each week. If you are doing the prayers please check for new prayer requests. From time to time we are asked to pray for people who are sick or troubled and also to remember those who have died. These prayers are mentioned in The Prayers of the People. We need to know who these people are but it is important that they know prayers are being offered on their behalf, so please contact them before adding their names to the list. The names will be left on the list for two weeks and then removed unless we are instructed otherwise. Thank you for thinking of those who need our prayers. ~ The Parish Office is open.
