When they pray in the service they don't say anyone's name, they just pray for "those who..." In private they pray for individuals. <BR/><BR/>Thanks again for answering!

I mean to suggest to my rector that we put a brief paragraph in the bulletin about one or two of them each week, perhaps with a picture. It doesn't have to have all the gory details of their condition, but could give a glimpse of what they've done as part of St. M's family and how they're known and loved to those who know and love them. I think our prayers would become a lot more focused that way.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09426526096642045236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876613.post-1139666404732792082006-02-11T14:00:00.000+00:002006-02-11T14:00:00.000+00:00Hi,A couple of places I've worked used to have a n...Hi,<BR/><BR/>A couple of places I've worked used to have a notice in the bulletin that names would remain on the list a month and then taken off unless notified otherwise.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16102818359680439197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876613.post-1139663454299064592006-02-11T13:10:00.000+00:002006-02-11T13:10:00.000+00:00The Catholic priest at our local hospital says he ...The Catholic priest at our local hospital says he doesn't go to visit male patients with Irish last names before surgery, for much the same reason.
