Prayers for the family of Pastor Pat Reed

We pray for the family of Pastor Pat Reed and her husband Mike. Early this morning Pastor Pat Reed’s mother, Teresa Nigro, passed peacefully into the arms of Jesus.

We mourn with her and Mike at this tender time, and we pray that God holds them in the peace that passes all understanding that guards hearts and minds.

Eternal God, your love is stronger than death, and your passion more fierce than the grave. We rejoice in the lives of those whom you have drawn into your eternal embrace. Keep us in joyful communion with them until we join the saints of every people and nation gathered before your throne in your ceaseless praise, through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
— Amen
