The department of employee spiritual care has produced an annual set of prayer cards for the past 12 years. To be used in patient care, each has a photo taken by an employee on one side and an encouraging verse of scripture on the back. There is also a note that says “I prayed for you today and asked God to bless you.”
The winners of the 2014 contest, chosen from hundreds of submissions, are:
First place: Sonjib Bayen
Second place: Carlene Drake
Third place: Cyndee Pelton
Eleven additional photos were given honorable mention and will also appear on cards. The photographers are Jeremy Ames, Sonjib Bayen, DJ Clemons, Carlene Drake, Cyndee Pelton, Denise Petersen, Marjorie Reyno and Nancy Wolfe.
“We so appreciate each person who submitted pictures,” says Kathy McMillan, director, employee spiritual care, LLU Medical Center. “What a joy to see each entry. The judges had a difficult task this year. Congratulations to each of the winners.”
All the winning photos are viewable here on VIP, along with photos from the past five years. The top-three photos are also above.
The new prayer cards will be available in February.
