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

We give thanks for the many lay ministries at St. Luke's. This week, we give thanks for the Tuesday Morning Bible Study, which is open to men and women interested in studying scripture and building relationships with other parishioners. This group meets Tuesday mornings at 10 am in the Youth Room for an hour. Interested? Contact Gloria McKenzie at jgmck72@gmail.com.

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.

We lift up the men and women of the National Guard and all who serve in the United States military. Bless them with courage, protect them from harm, grant them wisdom in every duty, and surround their families with peace and strength.

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.
