For the past 13 years, the department of employee spiritual care at Loma Linda University Health has created an annual set of prayer notes to be used in patient care.
Each prayer note card, similar to a postcard, has a beautiful nature photo printed on one side and an encouraging verse of scripture printed on the back. The photos promote feelings such as peace, strength, hope or joy. There is also a note that says, “I prayed for you today and asked God to bless you.”
Forty-three photographers submitted 261 photos to the 2015 contest.
Congratulations to the photo contest winners. They are:
- First place: James Ponder, Aspens, Ouray, Colorado
- Second place: Satoshi Sakamoto
- Third place: Michael Woodruff
The honorable mention winners are (in alphabetical order):
Carlene Drake, Terry Hansen (three images), Danny Wongworawat (two images) and Michael Woodruff (three images).
The winning photos, as well as photos from the past six years, may be viewed here.
