Third Sunday after Epiphany | Readings & Gospel:
Jonah 3:1-5, 10; Psalm 62:5-12; 1 Corinthians 7:29-31; Mark 1:14-20
 The word “Epiphany” means “the showing forth of God,” and the readings on the Sundays after Epiphany continue to show forth Jesus to be our God. This Sunday, Jesus calls the disciples—and us—to repent, believe, and follow him. And Jonah, after trying to run away, finally heeds God’s call and preaches repentance in Nineveh, the capital city of Israel’s enemy Assyria.
Guided by Christ made known to the nations, let us offer our prayers for the church, the world, and all people in need--
​

For the church throughout the world, for pastors and teachers, for deacons and deaconesses, and for musicians and servers, that all proclaim the good news of God’s reconciling love, let us pray. Have mercy, O God.

For skies and seas, for birds and fish, for favorable weather and clean water, and for the well-being of creation, that God raise up advocates and scientists to guide our care for all the earth, let us pray. Have mercy, O God.

For the sick, distressed, or grieving; for the outcast and all who await relief Ione, Dennis, Mary, and Sarah, our local and global siblings living with surging COVID-19 in California, France, UK, and vaccines costs in South Africa with accompanying lockdowns with quarantines, for all first responders as well as disaster volunteers, the unsheltered campers at 2nd Ave North and Van White Memorial Blvd, brothers James and Bobbie, Cindy, Linda, Jovita, Maggie, Samantha, Shoonie . . .  that in the midst of suffering, God’s peace and mercy surround them, let us pray. Have mercy, O God.

For families big and small, our Redeemer seeking a pastor, the Harrison neighborhood, and for the weekly building users, Narcotics Anonymous and RCFL, providers of leadership in our cities and around the world, for Mental Health Connect, Fairview Health Commons, fHarrison Neighborhood Association and homeless advocates, that God inspires all people in the just use of wealth, and whose steadfast love serves as a model for all relationships, let us pray. Have mercy, O God.

In thanksgiving for our ancestor in the faith Fessehatsion Kiflu Berhane whose life serves as an example of gospel living, pointing us to salvation through Christ, let us pray. Have mercy, O God.

Merciful God, hear the prayers of your people, spoken or silent, for the sake of the one who dwells among us, your Son, Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.
