Announcement of virtual Day of Prayer event
A praise and worship prayer event will be presented on Columbus National Day of Prayer Facebook page on Thursday, October 29, at 6:00 pm. This annual Fall program, sponsored by the Christian Community in Prayer Committee, a group of local citizens interested in bringing about times of community-wide prayer, is usually held in the YMCA gymnasium, but due to COVID guidelines will be a virtual event this year. We are thankful for today’s technology not only for enabling us to go forward with this event, but also that it will be available for replay on our Facebook page after the initial October 29, evening time slot.
This is the ninth year the Christian Community in Prayer Committee has sponsored a fall prayer event as well as the local observance of the National Day of Prayer. The Fall event usually focuses on Thanksgiving, and while that will be included in this program, the main subject for the 30 minute presentation will be a reminder that almighty God is our creator and sustainer and worthy of our praise and worship. Even as the world seems upside down, He is still in charge! Our community and nation are blessed in many ways; let us honor Him and give thanks! Hearts will be lifted, and He will be magnified.
