Pastor’s Corner – Sunday, July 6, 2025

Written By Pastor Sarah Haas

Dear Beloved,

Thank you for the prayers you offer to God. Thank you for the ways you lift each other, people near and far, and the world up to God. Thank you for the ways you praise God. Thank you for the ways you listen to God. Thank you for the ways you thank God. Thank you for the ways you confess to God. Thank you for the prayers you have said for years and for the ones that aren’t spoken aloud at all. Thank you for praying with me at meetings and on the phone and in worship together. I love praying and deeply appreciate that we can support each other through prayer.

On Sunday mornings when I offer the start of the prayer that we end together in the Lord’s Prayer, I have never found a way to give credit to all who help me find words to pray - ancestors, teachers, preachers, children, animals, plants, authors, devotional writers, friends, people unknown to me, my family, musicians, artists, advocates, Jesus our dearest friend and Leader, storytellers, and scribes…. It is a gift to pray with you. Thank you for the opportunity to pray with you. I am forever grateful. May you know the joy, peace, hope, and love of Christ’s living Spirit in this season and always.

With gratitude,

Sarah

I thank my God every time I remember you. (Philippians 1:3)
