from NILES STAR coverage (daily newspaper article)
The theme for 2011 is “A Mighty Fortress is Our God,” and is based on the verse from Psalm 91:2, which states: “I will say of the Lord, he is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
Millions of Americans have participated in this annual observance to petition God on behalf of their families, communities, nation and leaders. A “Prayer for Our Nation” has been written by 2011 Honorary Co-Chairman Joni Eareckson Tada for use at each prayer gathering around the country.
The Niles Area Ministerial Association is spearheading three local noontime observances of this year’s event at the following locations:
• Niles City Hall, led by Pastor Dan Miller of First Missionary Church
• Niles Township Hall, led by Pastor Greg Rensberry of Mapleview Free Methodist Church
• Howard Township Hall, led by Pastor Jim Wing of Niles First Baptist Church.
The general public is cordially invited to join these area prayer gatherings beginning at noon and concluding approximately 12:45 p.m.
In addition to the noontime prayer events, once again this year there will be a combined Niles/Buchanan Area Prayer Rally on Thursday, May 5 starting at 7 p.m. at the Buchanan Commons in downtown Buchanan, led by the members of the Niles and Buchanan area ministerial associations. In case of rain, this event will be held at First United Methodist Church.
