Event Description:
The Circle of Hope Through a Day of Prayer community event will be conducted at Cotton Bayou Beach Access in Orange Beach, Alabama on April 20, 2011. The prayer vigil will begin at midnight with several local churches taking turns “sponsoring” hours of prayer and will culminate in a large prayer service at 6pm, Wednesday evening. The community wide service will have many local pastors and community leaders speaking and praying in honor of the one year anniversary of the Gulf Oil Spill. The focus will be to remember the struggles that the Gulf Coast has endured over the past year and to summon strength and hope as we move into the future.
“We will pray for healing for those affected and for help in forging ahead. Our community is strong and will overcome this environmental and economic disaster through God’s love and guidance,” stated event organizer Pastor Michael Bonham of Peace Lutheran. “As spiritual leaders, we have a responsibility to tend to those in need. Our area churches have played a role in dealing with the crisis and helping individuals, businesses and the community as whole. We would now like to have everyone come together so we can begin to move forward as a community.” Some of the churches participating are Romar Beach Baptist Church, First Baptist Church in Orange Beach, Christian Life Church, St Thomas by the Sea, Orange Beach United Methodist, Peace Lutheran, St Jude by the Sea of Gulf Shores, St Paul’s Episcopal of Foley, Gulf Shores United Methodist, First Presbyterian of Gulf Shores and several others. Romar Beach Baptist Church will be the alternate site in case of rain.
