for Randy and Paula Stith as Randy recovers from surgery following a brain bleed.
for those displaced by the fires at Foxridge Apartments this week and all those tending to their immediate needs and offering support.
for the family of John Peeples as they grieve his death on November 28, 2025. Let's lift his wife, Cheryl, sons Anderson and Taylor, and their extended family, and friends in our prayers. A committal service will be held at BPC on Saturday, December 13, 2025, 11:00am, with a reception to follow.
for Teddy Collins as he undergoes surgery this week.
for so many people throughout the world who live in areas of violent conflict. Guide the leaders to seek peaceful resolutions. Be with women and children who bear the biggest burdens, and church leaders who speak out against violence and for security and an end to fighting.
for those friends and members of BPC, and in our community who are struggling with physical and mental health challenges. May they and their loved ones feel comforted and supported.
for our country. We pray that we find a just and peaceful way toward a better cultural appreciation of the complexity and plurality of a healthy democracy.
for immigrants in our country who are living in fear of unpredictable and potentially illegal deportations.
for our local and global community to support each other as we learn to be more aware of and seek to oppose racism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, bigotry, oppression, and violence.
as losses from climate change accelerate all over the world. Give us courage, hope, imagination, motivation and insight to address climate warming. We pray for those who are most affected. Give us urgency and international unity of purpose and will in combating and mitigating climate trends. Help us love and protect our Creator's world.
for Dessa and Cobbie Palm, our mission partners in the Philippines, and their continued work with youth in the community through Youth Advocates Through Theater Arts (YATTA), clean water access, and sustainability of local resources.
