But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)
Creating God, today is Terry Fox Day and we celebrate his commitment and determination to help raise awareness and funds for cancer research. We give thanks for his life and sacrifice so that we can all continue his work beyond his life. Surround all of us who are living with and/or working hard to eradicate cancer. Help us to remember him and honour his legacy as we strive to live in a cancer-free world. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace. (Ephesians 1:7)
God, thank you for inspiring innovation around us. Today is Traffic Light Day and I wonder what our world would be like if these did not exist. We give thanks for all the traffic guidance that is clear and understandable regardless of language or creed. May we be safe on our roads and keep us alert as we travel. Be with those who travel through our area on the way to cottages and may they be mindful of the residents who are here. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive your sins. (Mark 11:25)
Today we pray for Professional Engineers. Be with them as they do the calculations and planning to keep our spaces safe from harm. Be with them in innovation and creativity and gift them with insight if there may be a problem that even the guidelines can’t see, so they can plan and create accordingly. We give you thanks for their wisdom and commitment to building a better world. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. (Psalms 103:12)
Loving God, today we pray for all who care for those wiser in years and more experienced in body. We pray they have compassion and empathy for those they care for. We pray they have time to listen and connect with folks and that they can share memories and light together. God, it is a special calling to serve our seniors when they need extra care. May they know that we appreciate them and are here to cheer them on and offer our support as we can. God, be with them. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you are believed and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. (Romans 10:9-10)
Fun-loving God, it is today that I learned of this “sneak a zucchini onto your neighbour’s porch day” and pray that anyone who attempts to do so, does so well and with good intentions. We give you thanks for the harvests in our gardens and for the blessings in our lives. We give you thanks for the love and fun we can have with one another. And we pray that relationships continue to build in good ways through all our years to come. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

A person’s wisdom yields patience; it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense. (Proverbs 19:11)
On Saturdays we pray for children and families and think of those connected to us and those we may never get to know. Help us to hold each other in light and love, even if we don’t understand the generation that is blossoming into teenagers and adulthood. Today is ‘hold a hand day’ and we pray that we might have the opportunity to hold a young person’s hand in love and support or even an older person’s hand in care and love. Be with us as we intentionally hold each other up in various ways. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

For no one is cast off by the Lord forever. Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love. (Lamentations 3:31-32)
Today is National Lazy Day and though I normally pray we can celebrate and participate in such a day, I do pray that folks will come to church first and then participate in the laziness. As we celebrate the life and music of Johnny Cash today, God be with us in our learning and in our singing. Be with us as we dive into his life story and may we find a helpful connection along the way. Bless our church and our church family. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
