National Day of Prayer

Coming off our recent 24 hour prayer and fasting vigil Easter weekend, our church seemed to have a much needed shot in the arm in terms of seeking God's face. This past week, however, has seen many challenges, not the least of these being the flooding that prevented us from holding services on Sunday or the emotional/spiritual baggage associated with being bombarded by the tragedy at Virginia Tech on Monday. With adversities, as we have seen, comes the additional responsibility of a praying church to increase their emphasis on seeking God's Will through prayer, fasting, scripture reading and meditation.
The National Day of Prayer will be held on May the 3rd. Our pastor has requested that we consider holding another 24 hour prayer and fasting vigil in honor of this day. So, you may be asking, "What is this Day of Prayer thing?" Well, here is a site to go to in order to learn more about it.
