Praying for Joyce Parks

As many of you have now heard, Joyce Parks, a faithful long-time member of Boulevard Presbyterian Church was taken to the hospital on Sunday. As of this morning we do not know much concerning her condition other than she is in critical condition and could use the prayers of her faith community.

I invite you to take a moment today and pray along with me & other members of the Boulevard family for Joyce Parks and her husband Jim and her children, including Grace Parks, an elder of the church.

Mighty and merciful God,
you sent Jesus Christ to heal broken lives.
We praise you that today
you send healing in Doctors and Nurses,
and bless us with technology in medicine.
We claim your promises of wholeness
as we pray for those who are ill and suffering,
who long for your healing touch.
Make the weak strong,
the sick healthy,
the broken whole,
and confirm those who serve them
as agents of your love.
Then all shall be renewed in vigor
to point to the risen Christ,
who conquered death that we might live eternally.
Amen
