He said:

³ “Blessed are the poor in spirit,
    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
⁴ Blessed are those who mourn,
    for they will be comforted.
⁵ Blessed are the meek,
    for they will inherit the earth.
⁶ Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
    for they will be filled.
⁷ Blessed are the merciful,
    for they will be shown mercy.
⁸ Blessed are the pure in heart,
    for they will see God.
⁹ Blessed are the peacemakers,
    for they will be called children of God.
¹⁰ Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

¹¹ “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. ¹² Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Prayers of the Church
January 25, 2026

O Lord, You gather us by the work of Your Spirit.
Open our mouths to tell of Your name and declare Your praises to all who hear.
Lord, in Your mercy,

Merciful Lord, graciously allow Your Church
to enjoy both unity and a spirit of harmony in the work that You have given her to do.
Richly bless our worship and our upcoming One Church Sunday service,
that You would strengthen relationships and community,
and, by Your Spirit, encourage and enlighten us in faith. Lord, in Your mercy,

Heavenly Father, You sent Your Son as the Savior of the world,
that all the households of the nations might worship before You.
We especially give You thanks today for 48 years of marriage for Joe and Joan Shulmistras.
Bless all spouses, families, and households of this congregation with Your grace and protection,
that they might remember You in both joy and trouble and worship before You forevermore.
Lord, in Your mercy,

King of kings and Prince of peace, grant peace to the nations.
Give us good and faithful leaders in our land. Grant President Trump, Governor Newsom, and Mayor Slater wisdom and integrity for the good of all people,
that justice may be served in every place and for the protection of the weak.
Lord, in Your mercy,

Holy Lord, Your Son welcomed the sick, the afflicted,
and those oppressed by evil and He healed them.
Have mercy upon all whom we bring before You in prayer, especially Barbara Bomgren, the Dimas family, Kathy Duncan, Nicole Kronberger, Heidi Krumes, Karen Snedker, those on our printed prayer lists, and those lifted up now from our minds and hearts…
Deliver them according to Your gracious will. Lord, in Your mercy,

Gracious Lord, be present with the lonely and the grieving.
We pray for comfort for the family and friends of Albert John Amling, father of Michael, Vickie, Jacque, and Albert, and for the family and friends of John Bolduc, husband of Debbie.
Work through Your Church, that the grieving may find welcome and consolation
within the fellowship of God’s people.
Grant that those who sorrow may not despair but find hope in Christ.
Preserve us also in Your Word and faith until we die. Lord, in Your mercy,

All these things and whatever else You know that we need, grant us, Father,
for the sake of Him who died and rose again
and now lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God forever. Amen.
