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 said several weeks ago, 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 be in prayer:

• For those impacted by summer weather, particularly those in the path of Hurricane Beryl.
• For our churches that are in a season of pastoral transition.
• For kids who are attending VBS, camps, and going on trips this week (and the adults who lead them)
• For traveling mercies as people take time away.
• For families as they gather this summer, may it be a time of reconnecting, strengthening relationships, and healing where there is strain.
• For those who have COVID, particularly those who were at General Assembly.
• For our PC(USA) national staff, who are responsible for preparing and implementing much of what the General Assembly acted on last week.
• For our church communities: Forest Avenue, Forest Hills, Fox Chapel

In Christ,
