Weekly Prayer – 05/06/2026

Week of May 6, 2026

Rev. Catherine Nance

___________________________

At the writing of this prayer early on Wednesday morning, O God, our state legislators are in recess. People have asked that they hear their voices. It is in this setting that we pray to you, God who neither slumbers nor sleeps; you are never in recess. Thank you O God that you hear the voices of all your people. We pray for those who were elected in primary voting and give thanks for all who exercised their right to vote. You know, O God, that many feel their voice does not matter, will never be heard.

So, we pause from the concerns of the day to give you thanks. We are grateful that you hear the cries of your people. You heard the cries of your people when they were enslaved in Egypt. You hear the cries of a single parent who is struggling to meet schedules and household budget. You hear the sigh of one who is exhausted from chemotherapy and hoping for healing. You hear the prayers, the silent petitions, of so many …

…the youth who is wanting to feel connected

….the parent watching their child struggle

….the older adult who is tired of aging and wondering about their purpose

…the state representative who is wanting to do the right thing but wants to remain ‘electable’

…the officer on a ship just wanting to get home

…. And so many others…

It will be enough tonight O God, to trust in your steadfast love and to know we have been heard. It is enough to know that you care about our voices, our desires, and our needs. We pause for a moment to be silent before you O God. Sift through our prayers and see if our desires align with yours …. We will count it a blessing just to be quiet before your magnificent presence…

[take a moment to be still and quiet]

And now, O God, whatever this day and evening have given us, we take time to look back and thank you for the ways we felt your presence. The nudging, the comfort, the jolt, the affirmation …. Thank you for all the ways you reveal yourself to us.

We thank you for your presence with us throughout the night. Knowing that you do not take a respite from us enables us to rest, to set things aside for a while. May we sleep well tonight and may your love for us be the first thing in our heart and mind when we awake in the morning.

We pray now, O God, for those in our church family who have asked for prayers….

We pray for ….

  • A young man struggling with addiction issues; he is desperately wanting to stay clean but difficult when one is homeless.
  • Those who are grieving … may they feel the peace of God and the promise of Eternal Life.
  • Those who are undergoing treatments for cancer.
  • A member who is in transition after a job loss; may he find direction for next steps and resolution for past circumstances.
  • A visitor to our church last Sunday who is looking for a job and for transportation.
  • Friends and family who are going through struggles.
  • A member continues to heal after surgery; may she feel the power of your steadfast mercies.
  • Those who are in the last days of pregnancy … praying for healthy deliveries.
  • All high school and college seniors who are preparing for graduation.
  • Our brothers and sisters in Memphis who feel the devastation of the SCOTUS decision.

We continue to pray for …

  • Our military and their families.

We give thanks for ….

  • Our Children’s Choir and Parish Youth Choir and a meaningful Evensong service
  • A good visit with family from out of town.
  • Volunteers who give so much of themselves and their time

And together we pray the prayer Christ taught us, saying:

Our Father, who art in heaven,

Hallowed be Thy name.

Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done,

On earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses,

As we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation,

But deliver us from evil.

For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever.

Amen.

Weekly Prayer – 04/29/2026

Week of April 29, 2026

Rev. Catherine Nance

___________________________

O God who brought forth hydrangeas and dogwood trees and irises and called them all good, we are so grateful for the beauty of your creation. We see the variety of colors and the diversity of plants and are amazed at your creativity. What a joy to walk past honeysuckle growing along a fence on the greenway! We thank you for the glimpses of joy that spring brings to us.

Some of your plants have been carefully cultivated in gardens and others are growing freely in abandoned yards. Some are along manicured paths and others reach their way across sidewalks. You know each plant and what it needs.

O God who first walked with us in a garden, we are humbled when we think that we humans might bring you joy as you gaze on us; just as peonies and geraniums bring us joy! Thank you for the diversity and uniqueness among us. We do have much in common with our fellow humans, but we appreciate the differences. May we tend to each other just as a gardener tends to the plants. Thank you for the image of caretaking you have given us – caring for your world and for each other.

We pause as a church family on this Wednesday evening to pray for one another … there are those we know who are grieving, who are recovering, who are hurting, who are anxious, who are feeling alone ….

May this time of prayer help us each feel connected to one another and to you, O God. Help us imagine linking our spiritual arms with other church members and know that we are not alone. Perhaps we do not know everyone’s name, yet we felt a sense of unity as we sang a hymn together on Sunday. Or we read over the newsletter and feel connected to ministries that we care about. We do give thanks for your church, O God. This place is more than a building. It is a community of faith that cares for one another.

We also care about what is happening in our community and in our world. We pray for city and county officials as well as those who are running for office. May all who seek office be motivated by service to others and not personal gain. We pray for police officers, fire fighters, and schoolteachers. May they feel our appreciation as they show up for work each day giving so much of themselves. We continue to pray for peace in our world. Forgive world leaders who seem to enjoy speaking in grand and powerful words, but have forgotten the power of humility, concern, and compassion. We pray for our military; may their training keep them safe and may they feel the strength of prayers from home. We all yearn for peaceful solutions.

We offer this prayer in the name of our Savior Jesus Christ, who called Mary by name in a garden that first Sunday. As we tend to our gardens, whether they are vegetables or flowers or children or work or art or stories or music, may we hear you calling our name.

We pray now for those who have asked to be remembered …..

We pray for ….

  • A young man and his step-mother as they work through a difficult situation.
  • Those who are grieving … may they feel the peace of God and the promise of Eternal Life.
  • Those who are undergoing treatments for cancer.
  • A mother who just received difficult news about health; prayers for her family as they support her and help process the information.
  • A couple who is waiting to hear about ultrasound and IVF outcomes.
  • Friends and family members going through difficult circumstances.
  • A member who is in transition after a job loss; may he find direction for next steps and resolution for past circumstances.
  • A friend who has a mass on her face; guide the surgeon’s hand as they remove it. We pray that it is benign and there is no nerve damage.
  • For an infant who is sick.

We continue to pray for …

  • Our military and their families.
  • A member who is dealing with glaucoma and eye issues; thankful sight is good in one eye. Prayers for healing in other eye.

We give thanks for ….

  • A member who was declared ‘cancer-free’ after surgery.

And together we pray the prayer Christ taught us, saying:

Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever.
Amen.

Weekly Prayer – April 22, 2026

Week of April 22, 2026

Rev. Tim Best

___________________________

Gracious and loving God,

We praise you for the beauty of nature, for pleasant weather, and for longer days. Help us to discover the blessings in each day, and to praise you in all things. Your mercy and grace are like the warmth and the sunshine. When we encounter hard days and challenging moments, give us eyes to see where you are still present and at work.

We pray for our nation and our world. There is much uncertainty and anxiety in the world, and so we seek the wisdom and guidance of you, O God. Transform our hearts, so that we might pray for enemies, forgive one another, and model for the world the work of reconciliation. Where there is division amongst us, bring reconciliation, healing, and renewal. Guide the leaders of our church, the world, and our communities, so that your world might begin to reflect the image of your coming kingdom.

Our hearts are filled with the knowledge of those who suffer and are in great need. Be present to those who are sick and suffering. We often don’t know how to be present with and care for those we love who suffer; teach us and show us the way. Make us compassionate people, filled with your concern for all people. Empty our hearts of the pride and jealousy that so often destroys our concern for others.

Our congregation “gathers” each week through this prayer to share our concerns and lift our needs together. Bind us together in our concern for one another and our commitment to you. Some of us have written in to share concerns for ourselves or others. Many of us hold our needs quietly in our hearts. Wherever we hold our needs and prayers, see those things that weigh upon us. Grant us freedom from all that burdens us.

We pray for ….

  • Those who are grieving … may they feel the peace of God and the promise of eternal life.
  • Those who are undergoing treatments for cancer.
  • Third-graders, their parents, and their teachers during this time of mandated testing. May our children know that God’s love for them can never be measured!
  • A mother who just received difficult news about health; prayers for her family as they support her and help process the information.
  • A couple who is waiting to hear about ultrasound and IVF outcomes.

We continue to pray for …

  • Our military and their families.

We give thanks for ….

  • A member’s good health who has gone home after a long stay in hospital and rehab! Prayers for continued healing and recovery!
  • A member who is trying a new treatment plan for chronic illness.

We pray all these things in full trust that you see our hearts, and the burdens of our loved ones. With hope and trust in Jesus our Lord, who is risen from the tomb, we join our hearts together to pray the prayer Christ taught us saying:

Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever.
Amen.

Weekly Prayer – 4/15/2026

Week of April 15, 2026

Rev. Amber Lloyd

___________________________

Eternal God of Abundant Life,

The undiminished light of the resurrection of Jesus Christ gives us surpassing hope. In Jesus, we have victory over sin and darkness. By the power of the Holy Spirit, we are one with Christ in his death and raised with him into new life. Your children at Church Street pour out praise and thanksgiving for the mighty, saving power of your son.

God, we know that you are mighty to save. We have seen you at work in our lives and in the lives of others. Emboldened by your invitation to ask for what we need, we call upon you to intercede in our world. See the human chains created by your children in Iran as they join their hands together around the bridges of their cities. See the hungry, suffering people in Gaza and Palestine and the violence perpetrated against Lebanon. Remember the families in our country who are forced to be apart from one another, to endure the indignity of detention centers, and await the determination of their immigration status. Bring peace, O God. Bring healing and wholeness.

Remind us, Lord, of all the ways you have called us to minister and to love our neighbors. When we pray for peace, we remember that you have called us to be peacemakers. When we pray for healing, we remember that you have called us to offer forgiveness and reconciliation wherever possible. Give us the courage to do what you have called us to do, even when we are misunderstood or rejected. In this world, we may have trouble, but we will not lose heart, because you, O Risen Christ, have overcome the world.

Many in our families and communities seek your will and healing in their lives, O God. We lift those persons to you now…

We pray for ….

  • A member who had their fourth dose of chemo yesterday; prayers that side effects will be minimal.
  • A daughter who was deployed last week and cannot share location.
  • A member who broke foot on Easter Sunday and is now in hospital awaiting surgery; prayers for healing and successful rehab.
  • A member who had surgery this morning for a broken hip; prayers for healing.
  • A family grieving the death of their mother and wife.
  • A member having double mastectomy in the morning; prayers that other treatment will not be necessary.
  • One who is in the hospital; praying for her family as they await diagnosis.
  • A niece who is having a biopsy this week.
  • A member who had surgery this morning and is at home now; prayers for healing. Prayers of gratitude for family who was able to come.

We continue to pray for …

  • A young couple who is waiting for IVF; praying for success after disappointments.
  • Our military and their families.
  • Church members who are undergoing chemotherapy; may they feel God’s strength as their body fights cancer.
  • A member who has begun chemotherapy treatments; prayers for healing.
  • For a young couple with a child and expecting twins; prayers for good health.

We give thanks for ….

  • A member’s good health who has gone home after a long stay in hospital and rehab! Prayers for continued healing and recovery!

Bind us together, Lord. Make us one with you and one with each other.

And now, we pray together these words with your son taught us to pray, saying,

Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever.
Amen.

Weekly Prayer – 04/10/1979

Week of April 8, 2026

Pastor Sam Dzobo

___________________________

Gracious God,

As we greet the signs of spring in nature around us, in the songs of returning birds and in fields soon to be planted, we give you praise for an even greater sign of new life: the resurrection of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, which we especially celebrate at this time.

The sadness and despair of his death have given way to the bright promise of immortality. For the Resurrection is our guarantee that justice will triumph over injustice, light will overcome darkness, and love will conquer death.

We also give thanks for the Church Street family and those who dedicated themselves to worship and service during Holy Week and Easter Sunday. Those who led, sang, prayed, planned, rehearsed, and prepared. They gave of themselves so that all of us could encounter the Risen Christ. We hold them in your care now, Lord. Grant them Sabbath rest, deep renewal, and the quiet joy of knowing their labor was an offering well received.

During this Eastertide, these fifty days of resurrection joy, breathe into our weariness your renewing Spirit. May we not rush past the gift of this season but linger in its light, allowing Easter to settle deep in our lives and in everything we do.

As we celebrate Easter, we also ask for your grace so that we may live out the promise given to us by imitating Jesus’s life, reaching out to the poor, the marginalized, the least among us, and striving to be neighbors to all we meet. May Easter not just be a moment we remember, but a way of living that we carry into our homes, neighborhoods, workplaces, and witness to.

We praise you during this Easter season. Transform our lives and hearts. Make us messengers of Easter joy and hope in how we speak, how we serve, and how we love.

We pray for ….

  • A member having another dose of chemo next Tuesday … prayers that her numbers allow the full dose. Continued prayers as she deals with the side effects.
  • A member who is in rehab gaining strength and mobility.
  • A member who has been diagnosed with breast cancer; meeting with surgeon to schedule double mastectomy. Prayers for strength and healing.
  • A daughter who was deployed last week and cannot share location.

We continue to pray for …

  • A young couple who is waiting for IVF in April; praying for success after disappointments.
  • Our military and their families.
  • Children who are living through the trauma of war.
  • Church members who are undergoing chemotherapy; may they feel God’s strength as their body fights cancer.
  • A member who has begun chemotherapy treatments; prayers for healing.
  • For a young couple with a child and expecting twins; prayers for good health.

We give thanks for ….

  • Our clergy and staff who provided such a meaningful and beautiful Holy Week and Easter.

We offer our prayer through Jesus Christ, our risen Lord, forever.

Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever.
Amen.

___________________________

God in heaven and in our midst, thank you for these moments of prayer and connection.

Colors arise from the earth and trees these days of spring, in sync with our celebration of the magnificent arising of Jesus on Easter morn. These upcoming solemn-most days of Lent soon will be cast into hindsight, replaced by the bright abundance of lilies adorning the church. And we will exclaim in joyful praise, “Alleluia!”

As we laud your Easter miracle, we also long for other miracles in our world today. We’re restless and fearful. We feel ramifications of geo-political conflicts and power-centered decisions that are tearing societies and your children apart, causing undeserved suffering, furthering evil and injustice. Yes, Lord, we need your miracles! Infuse the minds and hearts of leaders with your Spirit. Inspire them to amend agendas and missions so that peace and mutual respect become the utmost priorities.

You, God, are our source of hope, especially as we deal with difficulties brought by health issues, grieving, financial problems, broken relationships, disappointments, job challenges, personal despair and uncertainties. Surround us with your comfort, your strength and your presence. Grant us your wisdom and courage for the living of these days.

For family members and friends who travel for Easter gatherings, protect them from harm. For children and volunteers who will hunt Easter eggs this Saturday, bless them with joy. For Confirmation Class members leading Sunday’s sunrise service, enrich their lives. For clergy, staff and others involved in Church Street’s Holy Week services and events, fill their hearts and minds with your Holy Spirit and the blessings of resurrection. For all who worship, stir our souls and inspire us.

God of grace and glory, thank you for coming to dwell among us. To walk with us. To teach us. To triumph over death for us. As we move forward now, as we strive to lift high the cross and proclaim the risen Christ, may our words, thoughts and actions not only be pleasing to you, but may they add to the building of your kingdom among us here on earth.

We also humbly ask you to attend to these needs and expressions of people in our church community. Surround each person with your loving embrace…

We pray for ….

  • A member who is going through chemo and asks for specific prayers that her numbers increase so she can receive the full dose of chemo on April 14.
  • Continued healing for a member who had two surgeries last week: one oral surgery to remove cancer and one to reconstruct. Praying for no infection.

We continue to pray for …

  • A young couple who is waiting for IVF in April; praying for success after disappointments.
  • A member who has been diagnosed with bronchiectasis. Prayers that she find peace and confidence in her doctors as she manages this condition.
  • Our military and their families.
  • Children who are living through the trauma of war.
  • A cousin awaiting kidney transplant.
  • Church members who are undergoing chemotherapy; may they feel God’s strength as their body fights cancer.
  • A member who has begun chemotherapy treatments; prayers for healing.
  • For a young couple with a child and expecting twins; prayers for good health.

We give thanks for ….

  • Successful surgery for grandson as well as a successful surgery for grandmother!
  • Medication that has helped so much with chemo side effects!
  • A member being released from hospital and moving to rehab to continue healing after two surgeries!
  • Thankful for member who is going home after lengthy hospital stay.

And now we open our minds and hearts to you, gracious God, with the prayer Jesus taught us:

Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever.
Amen.

Rev. Tim Best

___________________________

God of hope and promise,

In the midst of threats, disasters, and rumors of wars, you have always been faithful. We remember the instructions you spoke to Jeremiah to buy the field of Anathoth, as a sign of hope and of your steadfast faithfulness. Make known to us signs of your enduring promises within our lives and within our community. Give us eyes to see the ways that your kingdom remains present in our lives and in our world despite the sufferings and tragedies around us.

Our hearts ache for peace. Guide the leaders of the nations, that they may seek just solutions and an end to violence. We ask that you would guide our president and the other leaders of our nation, going them wisdom and helping them to find peaceful solutions to current conflicts. We pray that the leaders of other nations would also work for the peace of their people, and seek the hope filled future you have for all peoples.

We lift up the church and its ministries around the world. We pray for unity amongst Christians around the world. As Palm Sunday approaches, we pray for continued work among all your disciples for mission and evangelism. We pray for those who lead the United Methodist Church, and the leaders of other churches. We may hold various traditions and understandings, but by your Spirit may we be unified in our desire to follow you and be obedience to your will.

As Jeremiah prophesied in a time of uncertainty, we seek you in all the uncertainties of our lives. We pray for those who face surgeries, procedures and other health battles. May you grant hope and promise to those who suffer. Shape our hearts to see the needs of others and to respond with compassion and tenderness.

As we prepare for Palm Sunday and Holy Week, transform our hearts and renew our minds that we might see hope in the midst of our own difficulties and the tears of others. We give thanks that our children and youth will lead in worship this week, and we pray that the joy they will share will fill not only our hearts, but that the community will be blessed through their ministry.

With trust in your promises and hope for the future we offer the concerns of our community. Be with those named and those who care for all of these individuals and situations.

We pray for ….

  • A member who is going through chemo and asks for specific prayers that her numbers increase so she can receive the full dose of chemo on April 14 and that her medications manage the nausea from treatment.
  • A member who had oral surgery on Monday to remove cancer and reconstructive surgery on Tuesday. Prayers that she can remain infection-free while healing from surgery!
  • A young couple who is waiting for IVF in April; praying for success after disappointments.
  • A member who has been diagnosed with bronchiectasis. Prayers that she find peace and confidence in her doctors as she manages this condition.
  • A member in the death of her sister.

  • A father whose daughter died suddenly leaving a husband and adult child behind
  • A loved one facing liver transplant
  • A loved one facing removal of kidney
  • A loved one with heart issues

  • Children who are living through the trauma of war.
  • A cousin awaiting kidney transplant.
  • Church members who are undergoing chemotherapy; may they feel God’s strength as their body fights cancer.

We give thanks for ….

  • The birth of a baby! Prayers of thanksgiving for good health and for all of the family.
  • For the fellowship of the downtown churches we experienced during Lenten Worship and Lunches.

We praise you for hearing these concerns from our hearts. With the same hope symbolized by Jeremiah’s trust that you would fulfill your promises we pray together the prayer your Son has taught us, praying:

Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.

___________________________

God Who Sees,

Our praises ring out like a chorus of carillon bells. You are faithful! You are just and good! You uphold us and sustain us, filling our hearts with joy and peace. We give thanks for your enduring presence in our lives and the shelter which your love provides for us in times of need.

We are four weeks into our Lenten journey as we follow your son to his cross. We confess that as the road leads deeper within ourselves, we are afraid of what we will find. We are afraid of what you will ask of us when we offer our darkness and our secrets to you. But Jesus, you are a gentle companion, a shepherd who guides us beside still waters. Because we have experienced your goodness, we will put our hope and trust in you.

We give thanks for the ways which you see us and know us. Like Hagar in the desert, you find us even in our wilderness and guide us to living water. See the weary hearts among us, O God, and the ones longing for justice and change. Turn your face toward those of us who are struggling to find work or pay the bills. Look upon those who are sick and those who are caring for the sick. Remember us, O God, and act on our behalf. Bring healing and wholeness, restoration and redemption. When we hide in the darkness, withholding our shame and fear from the light of your grace, search for us and find us, and bring us back to life.

Seeing God, in your mercy, look upon these persons:

We pray for ….

  • A loved one facing liver transplant
  • A loved one facing removal of kidney
  • A loved one with heart issues
  • A father whose daughter died suddenly leaving a husband and adult child behind
  • A sister who was on mission trip in Nicaragua and broke her arm; she is in a lot of pain! Hoping to get to a private hospital. Prayers for relief and healing; prayers for the whole team.
  • A daughter in charge of her father’s memorial service this weekend.

We continue to pray for …

  • A sister who has been diagnosed with vascular dementia. May she feel the love around her and may her daughters accept this. They just lost their father six months ago. Prayers for strength and calm.
  • A young mother was just diagnosed with breast cancer. Thankful for early diagnosis and prayers that she will be completely healed!
  • A family in the sudden death of their wife and mother.
  • A son whose mother lives in another country and is facing difficult health concerns; prayers for the family who is there with her.
  • Our military and their families.
  • Children who are living through the trauma of war.
  • A cousin awaiting kidney transplant.
  • Church members who are undergoing chemotherapy; may they feel God’s strength as their body fights cancer.
  • A member who has begun chemotherapy treatments; prayers for healing.
  • For a young couple with a child and expecting twins; prayers for good health.

We give thanks for ….

  • Positive news from oncologist about tumor shrinking! Praise the Lord!
  • Clear report from a heart catheterization today! Prayers that heart monitor report will have good news as well!

In the light of Christ, you invite us to see as you see, O God. May we see Christ in one another. Hear us as we pray together these words which your son taught us to pray:

Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever.
Amen.
