We hold in prayer this week families that face struggles of physical and mental illness and aging, who have to figure out how to provide care for one member of the family. We pray for Luca, Heather, Maris, Irene, and their families.
We hold in prayer those who grieve the loss of a loved one, and we continue to hold Julie and her family in prayer.
We raise prayers of gratitude for those members of our community whom we do not see often but rejoice in the moments that we can connect by phone. We are grateful for the times when we can talk to or see Ann and Alfred.
God of grace and mercy, hold the Campus Ministry of Villanova in your care as they continue to be a presence in your name for the students of the university and for one another as they struggle to understand how to move forward in trust and truth.
May your love surround, support, and sustain us through this week.

Once again Temple University and the Dialogue Institute are sponsoring the SUSI (Study of US Institutes) students. This program is sponsored by the US Department of State as a way to bring students from the Middle East to the US to study multicultural and interfaith perspectives.
This weekend the students, from such countries as Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq and Egypt, will be spending time with area families. They have been invited to join us at GPC for worship this Sunday at 10 am. Realizing it is the summer, if you are in town, please come to worship to meet these wonderful students and show them what Americans are truly like!
