From July 1-7, there will be prayers with different groups (e.g. government, organized forces, women, youth, etc).  On Friday, July 5 the Muslims will take up the prayer in their mosques, and on Sunday, July 7 the Christians will take it up in their churches.  On Monday, July 8, a national time of prayer will be held in the Juba Stadium, and prayer will also take place in each State capital.  Let’s join this prayer initiative in the churches of Shenango Presbytery this coming Sunday, July 7.
