A Letter to Pittsburgh Presbytery from

¹⁴ Also, let’s hold on to the confession since we have a great high priest who passed through the heavens, who is Jesus, God’s Son; ¹⁵ because we don’t have a high priest who can’t sympathize with our weaknesses but instead one who was tempted in every way that we are, except without sin. ¹⁶ Finally, let’s draw near to the throne of favor with confidence so that we can receive mercy and find grace when we need help.
Hebrews 4:14–16 (CEB)

Dear Friends-

As I shared last week, I want to use this space for the next few weeks to call us all to a season of prayer.

This week, I would ask you to keep in prayer:

• For our friends in Malawi, as they grieve the death of their Vice-President this week.
• For our nation, as we celebrate Juneteenth, that we would celebrate the great strides we have made as a church and a country and recognize the work that is still to be done.
• For our General Minister Special Nominating Committee and candidates as they meet together this week to continue the vital work of discernment.
• For those in our churches who are busy preparing for vacation bible school and other camp programs at our various churches.
• For the contributions, both past and present, of our retired pastors.

In Christ,
