Dear Friends,
From one to four o'clock this Saturday,
June 8th, there will be a special ecumenical outdoor worship event taking place
in at St Mary's Roman Catholic in Middletown, N.J.
Comprised of several area Protestant and
Roman Catholic churches from throughout Monmouth and Ocean counties, the
“Revival of Hope” will focus on bringing people together to worship and pray
for the spiritual revival of our nation.
Protestant and Roman Catholics will set
aside their theological differences to focus on unity as they gather to worship
and pray with one another.
Pastors and musical groups from area
churches will participate in this service of revival.
While the service will run from one to
four o'clock, worshippers are free to come and go as their schedules permit.
Our nation is in desperate need of
spiritual revival, and our hope is that this service will spark the flames of
revival in our area and play a role in addressing the spiritual, relational,
political and moral divide that exists within our nation.
Scripture reminds us that, "If my
people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my
face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive
their sins and restore their land." (2 Chronicles 7:14)
Prayer is the foundation for revival. It
has been said that “We can do more than pray after we have prayed, but we
cannot do more than pray until we have prayed." John Bunyan
Every great spiritual revival has begun on
the bended knees of persistent and persevering prayer warriors.
Our nation is in need of revival, and we
encourage you to join your hands and hearts with other brothers and
sisters as together we pray for revival in our land.
I close with this reminder: "As long as
we are content to live without revival, we will." Leonard Ravenhill
Yours in faith and friendship.
