The Saint Thomas Indian Mission Church in Fort Yuma is encouraging the faithful to trust in God’s love as they pray.

The article, titled “Prayers of the Faithful” in the church's Aug. 23 online bulletin, implored people to pray for church leaders, “the church in the world,” “the church of service” and “the church of worship.”

“We pray for all the victims of the explosion in Beirut last August 4th; for individual intentions …(names); for the very sick…(names); for those who have died…(names); for those who will die today; and for those the world has forgotten, let us pray to the Lord,” the article, published on page 3 of the bulletin, said.

The weekly bulletin is organized in such a way as to facilitate "Sunday Worship which may be characterized as a ‘para-liturgical celebration consisting of the WORD and your SPIRITUAL COMMUNION OF THE LORD," the church’s website said.
