[AUG. 20, 2005] The horrific events that transpired on Sept.
11, 2001, will never be forgotten. As an apt memorial, Community
Builders is again sponsoring a community prayer breakfast. This
unique worship experience that corresponds to our nation's
remembrance of the 9-11 tragedy will actually occur on Saturday,
Sept. 10, from 8 to 9:30 a.m. It will be co-hosted by Community
Builders and Lincoln Christian College and Seminary in the Laughlin
Center on LCC's campus.
Last year more than 220 local residents, including many local and
area leaders, gathered to pray for our community. They prayed for
local, state and national leaders, and they prayed for families and
young people in Logan County. This year, as in last year's program,
there will be an opportunity to reflect, to repent, to offer
requests and to rejoice.
There are still a limited number of
tickets remaining for the prayer breakfast, as a crowd of over 300
is expected. Secure a spot for yourself, your family and a group
from your church by phoning (217) 732-3168, ext. 2243, for tickets.
The cost is $8.
This special prayer breakfast is sponsored yearly by Community
Builders, a local group of professional and lay church leaders who
pray for Logan County faithfully and consistently. They are also
actively and proactively striving to make our community a better
place in which to live. The public is always welcome to join in with
the Community Builders on the second Thursday of every month from
7:30 to 9 a.m. at Kingdom Life Ministries, 2500 Woodlawn Road.
