Prayer for America

Pastors and congregation members of local churches known as the Midwest Revival Network will gather around the Eaton Courthouse to pray for America and our community. Everyone is welcome to join us as we call upon God in the name of Jesus to heal the land, forgive our sins and move to restore blessings, favor and spiritual renewal throughout the region. We will meet and simply cry out to God in prayer and unity at 2 pm. on Sunday, Sept. 11, Patriot’s Day. Some may pray as they march from their local church or simply drive to the courthouse. The prayers will be simple and brief as we gather as one, joining hands as a symbol of that unity. Some may choose to linger in prayer, while others will be content to disburse after our brief prayer sharply at 2 p.m.
