NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER National Day of Prayer is Thursday, May 4 at 7:00 p.m. here at church. This is a time we set aside to specifically pray for our nation. The theme for this year is “For Your Great Name’s Sake! Hear Us…Forgive Us…Heal Us! Taken from Daniel 9:19 which says, “”O Lord, Listen! O Lord, Forgive! O Lord, Hear and Act! For Your Sake, O My God…” I know many of you pray in your Life Groups and individually but this is a call for the whole body to come together to lift up our praises and requests before the One who does hear, forgive, and heal. You don’t have to be a stranger at church to know that we have many people who need prayer. If you wish to be prayed for or have someone prayed for that you know, come and let us corporately lift up our request(s) to God. This would also be a perfect opportunity to pray for God’s Work, Our Hands Sunday, May 7th as we prepare to be the hands and feet of Christ in our community. Shirley Nelson  
