​Dear Synod,
 
Please hold Rev. Fred and Mary Lou Keller, and their family in your prayers. Fred is scheduled for heart surgery next week.
 
We pray,
 
Loving God, we give you thanks for the gifts of life on earth, for our human bodies and all you have created. You who are source of knowledge, give skill, wisdom, and compassion to all who provide medical care. And give gentleness and courage to the family, friends and caregivers of Fred and all who are suffering and in need of healing. For we ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen

​Dear Synod,
 
Please hold the family Diane Edwards, whose mother Norma Bluhm passed peacefully into the Church Triumphant on Saturday, March 6th. Diane is the wife of Rev. Andrew Edwards.
 
Please continue to hold the family of Rev. Gail Zackrison as they mourn the passing of Gail’s daughter Cindy.
 
And for those whose names are known only by God.
 
We pray,
 
God of all grace and glory, we give you thanks because by his death our savior Jesus the Christ destroyed the power of death and by his resurrection opened the kingdom of heaven to all. Make us certain that because he lives we live also, and that neither death nor life, nor things present nor things to come, will be able to separate us from your love in Christ Jesus our Lord. Now rest eternal grant Norma, Cindy and all for whom we pray and let your light perpetual shine upon them. Amen
