Our 30 Days of Prayer for our nation is coming to an end.  If you have not been a part of this effort, I certainly hope you will join today.  This is a critical time in the life of our nation and the Bible makes it very clear that we should pray for our nation, our leaders, and for the influence we can have on our culture.

This Sunday night we are going to have a very special service which will include some fantastic music featuring our choir, orchestra, and quartet. It will be built around praying for our nation. This is not about candidates or polls. It is about the direction of our country and it is about us doing all we can as believers to make a difference in our society.

The power of prayer is an incredible force and God’s desire is to hear from His people. As we gather together to pray, we do it in obedience to Him and it is a very clear witness to our families and to others around us.  I want to encourage you to make a special effort to be in this service on Sunday evening at 6:00. I want you to bring your kids because we want them to be a part of this effort. I want to encourage you to invite people in your neighborhood and people who work with you to come and be a part of this effort as we focus on such an important time in the life of our country.

During these weeks of prayer, I have had many wonderful comments on this prayer effort and God has used so many of you to touch the lives of others through this effort. My prayer is that we will finish strong and do all that we can to proclaim clearly what our priorities should be as a nation.
