30 days of Prayer

On Easter Sunday, April 4, Meck will host our second Easter celebration for the community at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater.
Last year's event drew thousands and we hope to make this year's service even larger.
To that end, we are setting aside thirty days of focused prayer leading up to this event, beginning Wednesday,March 3. Starting that day, and for each of the thirty days following, please take our Easter service before God.

The Bible tells us that the prayers of His people are not only heard, but are highly effective. We pray for His will to be done, but God has made it clear that His will is to take the prayers of His people into account and that they should be persistent in their prayers (Ps. 5:3, 17:6, 65:2, Isa. 62:6-7; Mt. 7:7-8, 9:37-38; Lk. 18:1-8; Eph 3:12; Php 4:6, James 5:16). And there can be few prayers that are more pleasing to His ears than for His people to pray that more of His children would come to know Him (Luke 15).

Whether you pray for three days or thirty, here are the five prayer requests we are asking everyone willing to pray for daily:
*widespread inviting of friends to attend
*thousands in attendance
*a true anointing of the Holy Spirit on the arts team as they plan and prepare for the service, as well as on Jim as he prepares and then delivers his talk
*protection of the event itself from any and all disruptions, including technical problems with sound or video, and logistical issues with parking and seating
*good weather

Thank you for joining with us on this adventure! Don't forget to get all the mileage you can out of our website easteratverizon.org and use all the invite tools available there!
