The prayers shared aloud on Sunday morning*
The lonely, the isolated, the anxious, the fearful
The sick, the dying, the grieving

All who continue to be impacted by Covid-19
The people of Ukraine, Russia, Afghanistan, and all who live in places of uncertainty and violence
Our leaders, our communities, our nation
