Dear Church Family,

This week we are joining the other Saskatoon ELCIC churches in worship led by Redeemer. The links for that worship are at the bottom of the email and on the website.

Please include in your prayers this week Audrey Hedlin and her family. Audrey is in hospital and her family is gathered with her in shifts.

“Loving God, your heart overflows with compassion for your whole creation. Pour out your Spirit on Audrey and her family and loved ones. Help them to know that you claim them as your own and deliver them from fear and pain; for the sake of Jesus Christ, our healer and Lord. Amen. “

Please also keep our neighbours to the south in your prayers as they deal with their election.

“Almighty God, we lift before you all who govern the United States. May those who hold power understand that it is a trust from you to be used, not for personal glory or profit, but for the service of the people. Drive from all cynicism, selfishness, and corruption; grant in your mercy just and honest government; and give us grace to live together in unity and peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.”

These prayers are taken from our ELW hymnbook (pages 85 and 77). If you wish to have a hymnbook at home, please pick one up from the church. There are hymnbooks and a sign-out sheet at the back of the sanctuary. The hymnbook has many items in it that are supportive and healing: prayers, hymns, psalms, the small catechism and daily prayer. I am finding the hymnbook to be a great resource during this pandemic.

May God bless you and keep you,

Pastor Marilyn
