Chicago Days 1 - Prayer Vigil in the 14th District

I've been trying to start a Chicago Tuesdays for the last two weeks, but that just never got off the ground. Hopefully, this can be a regular or semi-regular feature next week. But for now, I thought I'd share this prayer vigil announcement for anyone who lives in the Shakespeare District or around here in Chicago. We (including my church, Urban Vineyard) are participating this Thursday evening, and if you live nearby, I ask you to consider showing up as well:

VIGIL AND SPECIAL WORSHIP SERVICE

"Prayer Vigil for Peace to Stop the Violence in Our Community"

Churches and Houses of Worship that partner with the 14th District Police Department invite neighbors from the 14th District and beyond to attend a Vigil and Special Worship Service to Seek God for the Peace of our Community.

Our theme verse is Jeremiah 29:7 "Seek the peace of the city; Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper."

We will also be offering prayers for the families who have been hurt by violence this year.

Neighborhood young people will be leading us in songs, skits, and prayers.
