Information on just such participation has come to us from Dr. Roy Miller, a United Methodist minister who has about 8 years ago devoted himself to prayer - meeting and teaching with many diverse churches and groups. He is also is working to build a Prayer Retreat Center on a campus in the Jamestown area. Dr. Miller led us at Trinity (and 40 others) in a wonderful ACE weekend on Prayer Possibilities in April 2010. Since then he sends his The Better Place newsletter – to update us on local, regional and state prayer events.
Those events include a state-wide effort for 2012 to have 52 different regions of the state praying 24/7 in a kind of relay fashion across the state for the whole year. OneHeartCry24/7NYState2012 is encouraging Christian churches to take a segment of time and possibly share a week or more to worship with and pray for their own congregations, areas, the state, nation and world in whatever ways they choose. Any region can sign on at www.adkhop.com. Roger Brown, of the Adirondack House of Prayer in the Lake George region is the organizer of this effort..518/361/1225.
Our hope is to participate in this with other Island churches and maybe help organize the effort.
A suggested time would probably be sometime during Lent when vigils of different sorts are often planned...and people more tuned to such prayerful needs.
Hope we can discuss some possibilities at this Nov. meeting. Pastor Larry and Father Earle King have given it early support. Lani Burkman and Sherry Miller from Trinity also have interest in it Prayerful Blessings for a meaningful Thanksgiving,
Sue Kaiser, Prayer Ministries Coordinator
