God’s heart for widows

Honour widows that are widows indeed.1 Timothy 5:3, KJV

Scripture calls us to honor widows and respond to their needs with compassion. James 1:27 describes care for widows in their affliction as part of living out our faith.

In 1 Timothy 5, Paul also emphasizes the responsibility of families to care for their own, while guiding the church in caring for widows who are truly in need. For us, this is a call to notice, listen, pray, and show love through faithful care.

Let us pray with you

You are welcome to share what is on your heart. On our prayer form, you can choose to share your request with the pastoral staff, the prayer team and church, or both.

We would like to hear from you

If you are a widow, or are reaching out on behalf of a loved one, please contact our church office. Let us know how you would like to be contacted and what you would like us to know. We would welcome the opportunity to listen and talk with you about your needs.
