This opportunity to gather and pray for our nation at our church has often been a part of the Feature ministry at Calvary. However, this year Feature is opening up this service to the entire church and to the community. (We are grateful for the leadership of Sylvia Riddle and Freddy Vaughan). It is fitting that in the midst of economic challenges, the violence across the border, the instability of the international scene, the moral decay in society and the upcoming elections, we as a church gather to pray for God's direction and blessing on our nation, our leaders and our churches. Therefore, Pastor Rolando and I, with the help of our pastoral staff will be leading a one-hour bilingual prayer service in observance of this occasion. As a leader in our church, I want to encourage to take part of or all of your lunch hour on Thursday, May 3rd and attend this service. I also ask you to encourage those in your circles (within the church or in the community) to join us.
We will also make time during the service to pray over elected officials, educational leaders, military leaders, law enforcement leaders, emergency response and business leaders. If you know of some who fit these categories, please invite them. Please also contact me or Alma Escobar (alma@calvarymcallen.org) with their contact information so that we can send them an personal invitation.
Thank you, Julio, for yours and Rolando's support of this year's National Day of Prayer. It is not a small thing to come together as a church to pray. I can only imagine how delighted God would be if our church was full to the brim with His people on that day, each in his own language, seeking His face.That is how revival begins.
ReplyDeleteThank you Latte. :)
DeleteThanks for Calvary taking such a leadership role in such an important event. I have to attend a meeting in San Antonio next week and will not be able to attend. God bless you all.
