24 hour Prayer Vigil pt. 1

Almost 4 hours into the 24 hour Prayer Vigil. We kciked it off with a blistering set of passionate worship songs--guitar-Djimbe, and 30 voices for over an hour, crammed into the front lobbey of Elementville (above cornerstone bakery, across form Rag_o_Rama.) Following the worship- Posters in the Lobbey contained phrases from the Jesus Prayer. People could work around the circle writing out prayers and petitions, and then make another round praying for others. In the Corner Conference Room, dozens of candles burned as several composed poems or letters as a prayer to God, while some played the glass harmonics (thank-you Paul Robinson!) Refreshments ranging from vegetables to pop tarts adorned the break-room- With lots french press coffee courtesy of "Yeah Me Too Coffee Shop."

In the theatre room-- A series of prayers ranging from Psalms, selections from the Book of Common Prayer, Celtic Daily Prayer, etc- rotate while people sit and meditate on the words speaking to God.

Letters are beginning to be posted on the walls- and I am finding myself re-reading the prayers- as I think of new things to add. Every time I go to the confession wall- something new comes up.

Andy was at his laptop- typing a prayer to Jesus for 45 minutes. it was effortless, but according to Andy-- the longest he had ever prayed. I hope this time can be a time of discovery for many to find new ways they can connect with God.

We have people coming in throughout the next 20 hours-- But we would love for you to join us. Drop in prayers are welcomed!
