Day of Prayer coming May 7
Posted
The fourth annual Fountain Hills National Day of Prayer gathering will be Thursday, May 7, at Fountain Park’s amphitheater.
The local NDOP committee continues to encourage individuals to join together in a monthly common prayer focus. The focus for April is the family.
The committee issued this statement, “In a world of turmoil and uncertainty, it is important that our churches defend the value of the family and model the priority of the family.
“Family is the first learning place of an individual. Parents are the most important teachers a child will have. Starting from childhood until old age, the family is the source of guidance, care and encouragement.
“Ask God to give parents strength and patient wisdom as they bring up their children. Help teach families to love and respect each other. Show them how to support and encourage each other.
“Thank you for the work you do to give young persons strength to hold their faith in God as they meet life’s challenges.
“Pray for those who live alone that they will find fulfillment in loving God and their neighbors.
“The elderly are the guardians of our traditions and memories. They are the link to different generations. Let us care for, spend time with, and learn from them.”
Those interested are invited to gather at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church sanctuary each Tuesday at 1 p.m. to join the church intercessory prayer team in praying for the nation and the National Day of Prayer event.
