June 2006 Prayer List

Month - June 2006:
Please pray for the following needs of St. Matthew Church.

June’s scripture verse:
“But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.” James 3:17-18

June New Requests:
• For the St. Matthew’s committees and outreach ministries specifically:
o Activities Committee
o Bless the Parish Car Show and BBQ Cook Off, May we gather together and rejoice with friends and family.
• For an increase in stewardship in our parish, that more people will give of their time, treasure and talents for the good of our community.
• We lift up all graduates and all those who are making changes in their lives such as new jobs, new schools, retirements.
• Bless and protect the Catholic Heart Work Camp Mission Trip July 9 -14 as they travel to Milwaukee.

June Existing Requests:
• Armed Forces – may God’s protection surround our troops, especially the men and women serving from St. Matthew. May God strengthen their families.
• St. Matthew’s two, five and 10 year planning. May the Holy Spirit direct our future.
• Church finances especially the $200,000+ debt. We ask that God provide miraculously.
• Father Jerry for his spiritual leadership and guidance. May God grant him the strength to serve our parish. We also lift us the priests of the Archdiocese and the Topeka region.

Summer Prayer:
Father, This summer will be full of new experiences for me … my family … and friends… Vacations, gatherings, weekend outings … Grow us, stretch us through whatever we do, and through wherever we go, so that we will end the summer just a little more like you. (www.biblegateway.com)
