Prayer List

Intercessory Prayer Requests – First UMC Lebanon , Illinois

Week of July 7 – July 12, 2008

As a community of faith we heed the call to share one another's joys and to bear one another's burdens, sharing together as the body of Christ.   This list is an aid in our communal life, and we ask that if any information may be outdated, erroneous or incomplete; understanding and forgiveness will rule.   

We seek and acknowledge that our intent in prayer is to seek, serve and share the love of God and that regardless of our desires or understandings; God's will and way is always our deepest aspiration.  

The date requested was added or updated and requestor (unless church staff) is shown in ( )

We pray and seek prayer for God's people and Christ's church, universal and eternal, remembering that we are one and that which binds us is far stronger than anything that divides
