During this weekend in which we recognize World Communion Sunday and bless our pets on Saturday (aren't we a busy church?!), we are faced with another prayer-filled challenge. Monday October 4, 2010 is the Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem. See more information at www.daytopray.com
The Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem calls for sustained, fervent, informed and global intercession for the plans and purposes of God for Jerusalem and all her people; This world wide grassroots prayer initiative coincides with the season of Yom Kippur, recognizing the Jewish roots of the Christian faith. It has been instituted with the endorsement of Christian leaders of all denominations and differing politics from around the world.
These Christian leaders recognize that Scripture consistently and repeatedly calls us to pray for the peace of Jerusalem and the current tragedy, bloodshed, and loss of life in both sides of this current conflict warrant at least one day of unified intercession from the worldwide Christ for this strategic spiritual location. Over 72 nations participated in representing tens of millions of Christians in united prayer during it's first international observance, and each year, the number grows.
You will be invited this weekend to bend your knees, bow your heads, and humble your heart in prayer for our world community! And for those of you special enough to attend worship on Sunday- you'll be given a gift of prayer to extend to someone else... please come and be a Calvary people of prayer!
