PRAYER OF MEDITATION
O Lord, we, like Martha, are indeed worried and upset about many things. Calm our
troubled hearts and minds. Soothe us with your words of hope and promise. And give to
us a spirit that is willing to set all that is bothering us at your feet, so that we may find rest.

Stewardship Thought - Luke 12:24 – “Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them.” God feeds the birds of the air – this we know, it’s just that, as one wit put it: God sometimes feeds the birds….to the cats! Yes, crosses and hardships will always come, Christ said that no disciple is above his Master. But through it all, the Lord cares for us and He calls upon us to entrust ourselves to that care. He really is our Father, and He really will guard and keep us through whatever this life has to throw at us. And in the end, we shall receive the gift of eternal life.

PRAYER CHAIN
We, at St. John's, recognize the importance and power of prayer. God
hears and answers prayers and encourages fellow Christians to pray for
each other. The way this works is if you have a prayer concern, you
would contact a person on the list, they would then say a short prayer
and then call the next person on the list. It goes on until it gets back to
you.
