USA National Day of Prayer Vigil at the Temple

The Lord Jesus proclaimed, “My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations” (Mark 11:17).

In keeping with the USA National Day of Prayer this year, Thursday, May 7, the Community of Christ Temple will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. to anyone wishing to come pray.

This is a special opportunity for individuals and groups to worship in the sacred space of the Temple Sanctuary, to share in the spirit of prayer, to be still and know, and to hear the still small voice.

We will uphold a continuous “Presence of Prayer” for the entire 12-hour vigil. The Daily Prayer for Peace worship will be held from 1 to 1:15 p.m. in the Sanctuary and is always open to all.

Please share this invitation with your congregations, neighbors, family, and friends. If you cannot join us at the Temple, seek out an event in your area through the National Day of Prayer Web site at www.ndptf.org/custom/events/eventSearch/.

4/21/09 update:  We are inviting Community of Christ congregations to sign up for a specific hour and come together as a church family to pray.  We hope to have several congregations there for each of the twelve hours to maintain a continuous congregational prayer presence.  Sign up your congregation by contacting Rich Baldwin.
