National Day of Prayer (Focus, Aug 2016)
On May 5, 2016, Pastor Rick Carpenter and the Deacons coordinated a prayer activity that supported the National Day of Prayer. The UBC Prayer Room was open from 8 am to 8 pm for anyone to pray. Twenty-six deacons spent at least thirty minutes praying in the prayer room, and a total of forty-nine people visited the prayer room during that twelve-hour period. The church collected prayer requests from the congregations on the previous Sunday and those requests were available in the prayer room that day to be prayed for as we participated in the National Day of Prayer. Isaiah 58:1a was the Scripture focus for the 2016 National Day of Prayer: “Shout it aloud, do not hold back. Raise your voice like a trumpet.”
