Yesterday, at a Synod committee meeting we closed with intercessory prayer.  We prayed for all those affected by the fires burning in the Los Angeles area, for one of our members who needed healing, for a leader of our Synod who received miraculous healing and is recovering well.  And we prayed for the economic circumstances in our world today.

We also received word of, and prayed for, the loss of Brian Pugh.  Brian is the brother of PC(USA) GA Moderator Bruce Reyes-Chow’s wife Robin.  He was killed in a workplace shooting in Santa Clara.  Bruce has a brief post, a remembrance web site has been established, and there is a PC(USA) press release (thanks to Michael Kruse) with a statement from Stated Clerk Gradye Parsons.

All of these things will be in the prayers of our church community this morning.  Please join us in praying hard.

The Peace Of Christ Be With You!
