Relay for Life - Prayers of the People

Each year, more than 4 million people in over 20 countries raise funds and awareness to save lives from cancer through the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life. The Monroe/Trumbull Relay for Life took place inside on Friday night at Trumbull HS.

Celebrate: During a Relay event, participants and survivors celebrate what they've overcome.

We celebrate with survivors: Christine, John & others we name…
Remember: We remember people lost to the disease, and honor people who have fought or are fighting cancer.

We remember those who are fighting cancer, their families and their caregivers: Joy, Nancy, Fred & others we name…

We remember those who have died from cancer: Sally, Kathy, & others we name…
Fight Back: The event inspires Relay participants to take action against a disease that has taken too much.

We pray for all the ways we are fighting against cancer, for the funds raised and the awareness of what we can do…
Let us pray:

Loving God, as we walk the relay for life, help us to celebrate the little victories with cancer, for those who cancer is in remission, for those who have hope in new therapies. Let us remember those who have died and all who mourn for loved ones, those families that continue to struggle with cancer and all who minister to those fighting the good fight. Be with us as we fight back against this disease so we can celebrate more birthdays and less days with cancer. We ask this in the name of one who came to heal and save us, our savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
