How to Have a Heart for Hunger
#6 -- Pray for Our Hunger Programs and Clients
At EECM, one of the principles to which we are committed is the power of prayer. We pray for the transformation of the East End according to our faith traditions and our own understanding of prayer, acknowledging our need for divine help to carry out the ministry that we have been given.
So please join us as we pray for:
Our clients in the Food Pantry, Soup Kitchen, Men’s Emergency Shelter and Meals on Wheels—many of these individuals are not only hungry but lonely and frightened. We pray that their physical needs will be met and that they might find peace and comfort.
Our staff – we give thanks for our committed and caring staff without whom we could not offer the services that we do. We pray that they might be strengthened in their duties and that they would be a blessing to the people with whom they work and interact.
Our community – we pray for the healing of our community and for an end to hunger, poverty and suffering in the East End.
If you would like to participate more actively in the spiritual life of EECM, we are seeking clergy and lay people to act as “prayer partners” in the Soup Kitchen and Food Pantry. If you can spare an hour or two once a month to be present and available for prayer requests, please contact Suzan Krauland at 412-361-5549 ext. 411.
