PRAY IN CONCERT WITH STL-AREA BELIEVERS - GLOBAL DAY OF PRAYER - May 27, 4-6 p.m

Christian Brothers and Sisters--

This email is a general invitation to all Christian believers in the St. Louis, Bi-State Region to come together in united prayer this Pentecost Sunday, May 27, from 4 to 6 p.m.  The prayer service will take place at Memorial Presbyterian Church, 201 S. Skinker Boulevard, St. Louis, MO 63105 (just west of Forest Park).  Our theme this year is unity among the churches of our region, and our theme verse is: "How good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity" (Psalm 133:1, NIV). 

Is it not clear that the spiritual, moral, political, and personal challenges of our day call for a united and fervent response in prayer on the part of Jesus' followers?  Will you consider coming on Sunday, and bringing along your Christian friends?  This event will be multi-racial, multi-ethnic, and multi-denominational.  We will have small group prayer time as well as leader-led prayers.  Come expecting to meet new people and perhaps to make a new friend in Christ.  No offering will be taken--except for an offering of thanks and praise to God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Global Day of Prayer takes place each Pentecost Sunday, and this year it is expected to draw some 300 million participants around the globe.  For more information on this amazing international prayer initiative--which began in Africa about a dozen years ago--see http://www.globaldayofprayer.com/  The "media" tab at this webpage provides links to several informative videos.

Please consider announcing the Global Day of Prayer service during the Sunday morning service at your local church on May 27.

Feel free to contact us if you have any questions about Global Day of Prayer - St. Louis Region.

Yours in Christ's service,

Michael McClymond

Professor of Modern Christianity, Saint Louis University

Coordinator, Global Move/Global Day of Prayer - St. Louis Region

P.S.--Citywide prayer services take place on the First Monday of every month throughout the year at this same location--Memorial Presbyterian Church.

Support Wholeheartedly Requested - Trivia Night Fund-Raiser, Friday, June 15, Regional Arts Commission, 7:00 PM

Greetings Christian Friends:- I trust that things are going great as you receive this email.

A flyer is attached (below) for your review.  I am requesting your financial support and/or presence at a fund-raiser for a non-profit organization that's being  developed focusing on community education, addressing social and human service needs for children, youth and families, including our beloved older Americans/Seniors.  As you know, this is a passion for me.  The non-profit name - Family Resources and Community Connections, Inc.  Currently, we are coordinating the Pen or Pencil Group Mentoring Program.  This is an evidenced, researched, curriculum and culturally based group mentoring program.  The curriculum is based  on history, education and sacrifices that were made for freedom and equality through slavery, underground railroad and the civil rights movement.  The purpose is to increase academic achievement/performances; crime reduction and anti-social behaviors in schools and the community.  We meet once per month on the 3rd Thursday evening from 6:00-8:00p.m. to minimize our volunteer group mentors' time.  This particular program is subcontracted through the National Alliance of Faith and Justice who was awarded a grant through the Department of Justice for "same race mentoring."    NAFJ is connected to the National Baptist Convention Prison Ministry.  In addition, NAFJ is also affiliated with the National Cares Mentoring Movement started by Susan Taylor  - The President of the United States is in support of Ms. Taylor's Program. 

The tickets are $15 each or $120 per table of eight (8).  It would be an honor for you to purchase a table of eight (8) but I will accept any donation and/or your presence including donated prizes.  The doors will open at 6:30 on Friday, June 15 and close at 10:00 p.m.  The venue is the St. Louis Regional Arts Commission located at 6128 Delmar where I serve as a community arts alum/fellow (1998-99).  If you need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me.  Donations can be mailed to the address below or I can pick them up - other arrangements can be made as well. 

Thanks for all that you are doing to minister to the needs of others--
