In light of the evil attack in New Orleans on New Year’s Day, we call upon our family of churches to designate specific time during worship services this Sunday, January 5, to pray “in one accord.” (Acts 4:24)

We recognize that there is much to pray about. We pray for those who mourn. We pray for those who are injured. We pray for our Law Enforcement. We pray for our leaders. We pray for justice.

Let us also pray for protection, compassion, boldness and wisdom as we seek to be the hands and feet of Jesus to those around us. Finally, let us pray for God’s favor as we seek the lost who live among us.
