Prayers of thankfulness and congratulations to our CUMC graduates. I am thankful for one of my granddaughter's high school graduation and for the graduation of a niece from college.

I am grateful for the friendships I made during my career, friendships to which I am saying, "See you later," as I start the next chapter - retirement!

Prayers for my uncle Gary. He recently was moved to an assisted living facility and has a tendency to cause trouble and want to go back home. Unfortunately he isn't able to care for himself and home. I would like prayers for him to find his new 'home' enjoyable and want to stay. Thank you.

Prayers of gratefulness for sunshine, the willingness of folks to help others and share their joys. We are also grateful for the trust those who are struggling with things in their lives put in us, when they share those struggles. May we be able to respond with grace, hope and support.

For Bea Cook as she starts a new chemo treatment plan.
