Baptism as Inclusive Protest

Baptism

Medina United Church of Christ Congregational

Everything about Judaism and Christianity despite theologies to the contrary, is earth related. Not heaven related. John baptizes with water. Water created by God. God who created us out of the earth. Created the earth to sustain us.

Please pray for my mental health. I'm going through a divorce, among other things, and have never been in such a desperate place before. For the past three years, I have sunk lower and lower into pure desperation. I have two small children and am struggling financially as well. I want to live a purposeful, fulfilling, meaningful life and give my children so much. But I feel as though simply getting from one moment to the next takes everything I have right now. None of this is how it was supposed to be. Please pray that I am able to heal mentally and emotionally and create the life God wants for me and my family. I've never needed Him more.

Please pray for Mighty Molly Oldham. She is a 20 yr old Female diagnosed with Brain Cancer. Her story was featured on the CBS Evening News on 12/24/21. It was an Inspirational story and how she has overcome Brain Cancer. Unfortunately, her Mother, Bunny Oldham recently posted n FB that Molly's Brain Cancer has returned with a Tumor. I went to Firestone High School with Bunny and my Heart breaks for her. My Mom, Jeanie Kerns is friends with Cherie Ingraham. She listened to Luke's Sermons and now so do I. I really enjoy Luke's Sermons. Thank you, Jocelyn Steiskal

A family friend and her family need prayers for my friend's brother who was found collapsed in his home on Thursday 4/2, from effects of a stroke. My friend contacts her brother daily...as does her brother's children. When they could not get a response to any of their texts or phone calls...the grew very concerned, as he is usually quite quick to respond. So they drove down to his home, and found him collapsed, breathing, but paralyzed from the stroke, so he was unable to respond to the phone. They were not sure how long he was in this condition. Called 911 who took him to the local hospital. About midnight he was stabilized enough to be life-flown to UH Cleveland. He currently is in the ICU there...and not doing too well. PRAYERS for this family as they handle this situation long distance and being separated by the COVID-19 safety procedures/measures all hospitals have employed regarding only patients and medical staff/personnel are being admitted. My friend, her brother, and their families have a long road ahead. PRAYERS for strength, patience, healing for them...and for all who are facing this similar situation, wherever you are. Thank you for listening and praying. Christ's blessing. Alice

My wife and I are 5 months pregnant and doctor s are telling us our baby won't be born because of many difficulties. It seems to have over larged kidneys, no bladder and very few fluid for him to survive. I don't understand, they claim it genetic but none of our families have ever had any of that. My wife got dietbities from her pregnancy but she got it with our first child too and he is extremely healthy with never any issues. She takes very well care of her dietbities.These doctors want to finalize the result of our baby by saying it's already basically died when it still alive. The only option they offer us is to give up on it and shut down its life. We don't want to! There is no result without God's result! And We believe he has not given them to us yet! We Begg you to please pray for our baby to be born strong and healthy like his older brother. God bless you

I am 8 months pregnant and without anything. My family will shun me for having a child out of wedlock and to be able to have a decent living environment for me and my unborn child I have had to keep the pregnancy from them. I am unemployed, without a car, and once my baby is born I will soon find myself homeless. I do not yet have the essentials my baby needs. I have never been at a lower point or so lost in life and I don't know what to do. Please pray for me.

Please pray for my son Russell that he would repent and return to the Lord and be healed from drug addiction and sexual immorality. That he would take care of his family and fear the Lord. Pray that the Lord would create in my son a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within him (Psalm 51:10) May my son Russell walk after You, God, and fear You and keep Your commandments and obey Your voice. May he serve You and hold fast to You (Deuteronomy 13:4).Pray Russell would be strong and courageous and not fear or be in dread, for it is You, Lord, our God, who goes with him. You will never leave him or forsake him (Deuteronomy 31:6). Pray that Russell would walk before You, God, as King David walked, with integrity of heart and uprightness, doing according to all that You have commanded him and keeping Your statutes and rules (1 Kings 9:4) and like Timothy, may my son be an example to believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity (1 Timothy 4:12). Pray that Russell would listen to the way of wisdom and be led in the paths of uprightness (Proverbs  4:11). Lord, be with my son in trouble; rescue him and honor him (Psalm 91:5).Pray that Russell would honor his father and mother (Ephesians 6:2).and have love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith (1 Timothy 1:5). Pray that Russell would think on whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is commendable; if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, may he think about these things (Philippians 4:8). that he would have the mind of Jesus Christ.
