National Day of Prayer - May 7th!

Hi Ann! Thanks for following this blog, especially in its infancy. I look forward to linking with other friends' blogs.

I'm going to interrupt my Prayer Booth story for this special announcement/reminder. I just found out this morning that Thursday May 7th is the National Day of Prayer. That's like 10 days from now. I'll have more information coming about that soon but I thought I'd better help get the word out for now as it snuck up on me.

If you live in or near Siloam Springs here is what I have found out so far. The following is copied and pasted from another source.

· Siloam Springs Noon Prayer: At noon across from City Hall in frontof the First Presbyterian Church on Broadway Street. For moreinformation, call Tricia Estes at 524-4823 or e-mail triciafaye@earthlink.net

· Siloam Springs Evening Prayer: From 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the JohnBrown University Cathedral, 2000 W. University. For more information,call Tricia Estes at 524-4823 or e-mail triciafaye@earthlink.net

I'm planning on trying to attend both of these. I've also since learned that I have other friends planning on this as well as the church at large I attend.

I'm going to throw this out for Ann:

· Lowell Morning Prayer: From 7 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. at the City Administration Building's Council Chambers, 216 N. Lincoln St. For more information, call Cheri Mead at 601-5121 or e-mail cherimead@cox.net

My point is, find the local events in your area and try to attend. Benton County has a bunch. If you can't find one, let me know. I will help.

One other plug I'd like to make is, please pray for the church of Siloam Springs. A community of less than 14,000 has 52 churches that call Siloam Springs home by address. You will soon learn how close this is to my heart, praying for the greater church of Siloam Springs. Here's a little tidbit I'd like to throw out just to give you a picture. Try googling "the church of siloam springs" or "greater church of siloam springs". Make sure you use the quotes so you search for the phrase. I'd be interested in hearing what you find.

And returning to the original topic, here's a great and helpful link.
