Prayer Requests - St. Luke's Episcopal Church Baton Rouge

We pray for the repose of the soul of Sarah “Dodie” Edmonds. We pray for her sons, Ronnie and Todd Edmonds, her grandchildren, Kelly Lemoine and husband Nathan Lemoine, Burden Edmonds and wife Courtney Edmonds, and Tessie Edmonds, and her great grandchildren William and Patrick Edmonds and Oliver Hendrick.

We give thanks for the vision God has set before this parish and for calling us into the holy work of building a new church and fellowship hall. We ask God's blessing on our Vestry, Building Committee, and Capital Campaign Committee. May God strengthen them as they invite us to offer our energy, prayers, and resources for the mission entrusted to us. And may we continue to proclaim the hope we share as we live into the future God is building among us.

Dear Father, Send down your blessings on law enforcement officers, firemen, and first responders. Grant them courage, wisdom, strength, and compassion in all their work. When the alarm sounds, let them faithfully serve you in their neighborhood. Amen.

Almighty God, whose beloved Son Jesus Christ, went about doing good, and healing all manner of illness and disease: continue, we beseech you, his gracious work. Grant to physicians, nurses and all health care professionals wisdom and skill, sympathy and patience; keep them safe and preserve them from all contagion. Cheer, heal and sanctify the sick, and send down your blessing on all who care for them healer, Jesus Christ, Our Lord. Amen.
