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.
April 27, 2025
Inspire the church with the breath of your Holy Spirit, that we sing the good news of the resurrection. Inspire deacons and pastors, lay leaders and bishops to boldly proclaim your love for all people.
Preserve the earth as a safe home for all creatures. Restore habitats contaminated by pollution or overuse, strengthen efforts to shape more sustainable communities, and make us mindful of the impacts of our daily lives on the well-being of creation.
Kindle in the nations a spirit of cooperation and mutual care. Raise up creative and courageous leaders committed to shaping just solutions to complex challenges in our local and global communities.
Embrace all who carry wounds, that they might know your compassion. Draw near to those with chronic pain or anxiety, and all for whom death is near. Comfort individuals and communities suffering in any way.
Transform our fear into curiosity and love, especially across differences in race, religion, sexuality, gender identity, and economic situation. Unravel stereotypes that lead to discrimination, and destroy oppressive systems that marginalize vulnerable communities.
We remember the faithful departed from all times and places. Confident that you are the Alpha and Omega, we pray for your wisdom and guidance until our earthly pilgrimage is complete.
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.
