PRAYING

James 5:13-15a
Are any among you suffering? They should pray. Are any cheerful? They should sing songs of praise. Are any among you sick? They should call for the elders of the church and have them pray over them, anointing them with oil in the name of the Lord. The prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise them up.

We give thanks to God for:​

• the Rockwood/Stone Band for their great performance of music by Mozart, Handel and Pachelbel
• the Rockwood choir (and soloists) for their anthem "O God, You Made the Rainbow"
• the team that prepared and served communion
• everyone who brought food for the potluck lunch
• Mary Elliot for a great anniversary service and thought-provoking sermon
• Carl Baker for telephoning and setting up photo appointments for August 26 and 27, 2019
• Jack Ward for the work he has done in managing the window replacement process, securing a Grant from the United Church and completing the attached report. His diligent work has resulted in new energy efficient windows at one third the cost!
• Gordon Carothers for documenting the replacement of the windows at Stone
• the co-coordinators, the companions, the retreatants, and those who provided lunch during the Week of Guided Prayer
• Ron Hawkins for faithful grass cutting at Stone​                                                                                              

Prayer List is included in the weekly announcements and lifted up in prayer in worship.
