Prayers for Those Who Face the Battle
We know that many of our local church members are serving overseas, or have
family members who are. We have listed names given to us by their families here.
The purpose is to hold these dedicated and special people in a wide circle
of prayer.
Please hold all these people, and those with whom they live and serve, tenderly in prayer!

Ledyard Congregational Church has, as far as we know right now, 15 families
with 16 members on active duty in the Marines, the Submarine Force, the Army
National Guard and the Coast Guard. Nine are deployed; five are on the
faculty of the Coast Guard Academy or the Navy Sub School, dedicating their
skills in support of their comrades.
Please remember that no one wants peace or needs prayers more than those
caught up in violent conflict, and their families who wait and worry in
whatever country they call home. May God bless us all with a peace that
brings justice and reconciliation.
Thank you for your prayers.
