Dear MCC members and friends,

 

Please join us in prayer for people on the West coast of the United States. California was hit with hurricane-force winds that reached up to 140 mph on Wednesday night. The extreme winds reached as far as Utah and Colorado. There has been extreme damage throughout this area. More than 300,000 customers lost their power, and many are still waiting for it to be restored. MCCLA is currently one of those customers. They are planning to proceed with services on Sunday, even if without power. Damage at the church has not been assessed yet. Fortunately, there have been no reports of fatalities. More gale-force winds are expected this evening (Pacific U. S. time).
 
God of many names and God beyond naming,
Thank you for all the ways you watch over us,
Even when we are unaware.
We lift up all those affected by this storm
And ask for your peace and protection.
Your presence and your love are requested
And appreciated during times like these.
Amen.

Grace and Peace,
Rev. Dr. Nancy Wilson
Moderator
