Moment of Contemplation:

Share Good News this week. Smile at a neighbor. Call or send a note to someone you haven't talked to in a while. Find a unique way to share the blessing of beauty with others.

Prayer Requests:

 - We pray for Maui. We pray for all who have been affected by this horrific, tragic disaster. We pray for compassion and encouragement.  For all those who have lost loved ones we pray for closure and healing.

 - We pray for Pastor Kate, Sean and Charlotte as they are on the Continental US visiting home and other places. We pray for their safety, health and we look forward to their return to Hawaii.

 - We pray with the family of long-time CCU member Bill Muench, who passed away suddenly on August 9, 2023.

 - Lauren Buck Medeiros appreciated our prayers as she represented CCU at the recent General Assembly of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Louisville, Kentucky.  She heard excellent preaching (including social activist, Dr. William J. Barber!); saw some former CCU friends: Rev. Kerry Grogan, Rev. Trent Lockhart, Revs Susan and Don Dewey, Rev. Richie Sanchez and Mohammad Ali  was part of inspiring worship AND cast our votes on some truly prophetic feeling resolutions.  Lauren is looking forward to sharing some of her experiences and information when she returns in October (after a "bucket list" trip to the labyrinth in Chartres Cathedral, France!) We pray for safe travels!

 - We continue to pray for Lucy Walter’s and family after the death of her husband Jim.  

 - We continue to pray for the Woodall, Jones, and Gilcher families on the loss of a beloved brother and Uncle Victor Jones.  He was a true Renaissance Cowboy who loved his family, 10-gallon hats, boots and protecting the environment.

 - We continue to lift Richard in prayer for healing and rest.

 - We continue to pray for Paul & Dottie Brennan. They welcome calls and visits.

 - We continue to pray for Karen, Melissa's sister, for radiation treatments.
