Prayers of Intercession
As a congregation, we encourage prayer for the world, its many peoples, and the challenges facing us in today’s world. If you care deeply about any of the issues below, we urge you to advocate for what you believe in and contact local, state, and/or federal officials.
June 1, 2025
Welcoming God, you invite all people to come and encounter your love. Give your church open hearts and minds to embrace all who seek your presence. Increase the capacity for cooperation between denominations and congregations.
Creating God, your might is seen in storms and in silence. Where drought threatens, bring rain. Where waters flood, ease them back. Where fire, earthquake, hurricane, or tornado destroy, shelter your people and restore your land.
Discerning God, fill the hearts of leaders with your passion for justice and mercy. Call the nations of this world to tables of peace and collaboration. Encourage governments to seek avenues of collective benefit and joy.
Abiding God, all people are held in your care. Accompany survivors of abuse, trauma, and exploitation. Strengthen our resolve to listen and advocate on behalf of all who are unnoticed. Hear our prayers for those close to our heart.
Rejoicing God, be with this congregation as summer begins in the northern hemisphere. Keep travelers safe. Keep the vulnerable cool. Invigorate summer ministry efforts in our community and support the well-being of children and young people.
Loving God, the beginning and the end, you are with us throughout our lives. In gratitude for the saints who have died, we look toward your coming again among us.
Hear us, O God. Your mercy is great.

Tamarac Food Pantry
The City of Tamarac Food Pantry is accessible to income-qualified Tamarac residents on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month, subject to supply availability. Appointments are necessary and can be scheduled every three (3) months. To find out if you are eligible, see the link to the Tamarac Food Pantry Application.
Donations of unexpired non-perishable items can be brought to the Church. According to Feeding America, these are the most needed items at food banks.
Basically, any food that is “shelf-stable” or nonperishable – you can keep it in your pantry and it won’t go bad. And remember, only donate food that hasn’t reached its “sell-by” date yet. Specifically, food banks often need items like:
- Peanut butter
- Canned soup
- Canned fruit
- Canned vegetables
- Canned stew
- Canned fish
- Canned beans
- Pasta (most prefer whole grain)
- Rice (most prefer brown rice)
What NOT to donate:
- Items needing refrigeration
- Expired food
- Food with packaging concerns; or
- Baked goods
Recycling Tech/Office Supplies
A box has been placed on the table in the Fellowship Hall to collect a limited number of the items that can be recycled at Staples stores. (The full list is at https://www.staples.com/stores/recycling.) To keep it manageable, we are asking only for the items listed below. Every week or two, a volunteer will take the items from the box to the Staples store in Lauderhill.
| Writing Tools | Tech/Office Supplies | Batteries |
| Crayons | Calculators | Single-use alkaline |
| Pens and Markers | Car & wall chargers | |
| Wooden & mechanical pencils | Flash drives, Headphones & headsets |
Thanks to everyone who has participated in the Recycling Program. As of April 5, we have already surpassed the amount raised by the effort in six (6) months last year.
