GLOBAL DAY OF PRAYER GATHERING
GLOBAL DAY OF PRAYER GATHERING
The Global Day of Prayer is observed each year on Pentecost Sunday. This year, that was the 23rd of May. On that day, The Better Place Ministries organized a gathering for all of Chautauqua County that took place near the geographic center of the county in Sinclairville. The gathering was small in number; nevertheless, there was a broad geographic representation. People were present from Kiantone, Frewsburg, Westfield, Fredonia, Jamestown, Sinclairville, Mayville, Stockton and Gerry.
Starting at 5:30 p.m., participants viewed the video documentary, A Force for Change, about the spiritual transformation that has taken place in Sao Paulo, Brazil – largely through the police force. Following a brief discussion of that, from 6:30-8:00, the participants entered into a time of “Harp and Bowl” prayer. This was facilitated by the praise band from Park UMC in Sinclairville and by The Better Place Director, Roy Miller.
