Dear Friends,

You are in my prayers, and I am grateful that we can hold each other in prayer during the times in life that feel chaotic, the times that feel calm, the times that feel confusing, and in all time and places. My heart has been heavy for the last month in hearing and seeing how the Delta variant is impacting kids and pregnant women. When I feel deep sadness, I find hope in knowing that God holds us all through all the feelings. I am grateful for Friedens' prayer team. If you’d like to join the prayer team or share a prayer concern or praise, they meet over zoom at 4 p.m. each Monday. The team would love to welcome you. You can come once or few times or regularly. You can come for several minutes or the full thirty minutes. If you have any questions, would like the zoom link, or would like to share a prayer concern or praise, please email me at pastorsarah.friedensucc@outlook.com.

With gratitude,

Sarah

15 See that none of you repays evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to all. 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 19 Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not despise the words of prophets,[e] 21 but test everything; hold fast to what is good; 22 abstain from every form of evil.

23 May the God of peace himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept sound[f] and blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do this.

Thessalonians 5:15-24
