Event Description:
There's no doubt that the world, and specifically our nation, is in a very volatile and tumultuous time. Violence, terrorism, injustice and a variety of other forms of evil permeate the fabric of our time.
As a community of believers, we are deeply grieved and concerned about the moral and spiritual condition of our nation. Our hearts are broken knowing that the black community, and those of other ethnic minorities, have been treated wrongly throughout the course of history and have suffered the horrific effects of racial injustice. We are disturbed that some people actually believe that evil perpetuated by hatred could ever produce anything good. We are also saddened about the murdering of a fellow human because of the uniform they wear.
In times like these I am stirred with God's direction found in 2 Chronicles 7:14, "Then if my people will humble themselves and pray, and search for me, and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear them from heaven and forgive their sins and heal their land."
As followers of Jesus, it is time to lay aside differences and come together as the Body of Christ and pray. I, along with several other pastors and public servants that represent our diverse city, are coming together for a night to pray for our nation, and to believe the healing that our nation so desperately needs will begin.
We invite you, and your congregation, to join us for a time of prayer, worship and a healing moment for our region.

We are HIS church. We are unstoppable and unshakeable. We have an abundantly available source of love, patience, kindness, mercy, joy, faithfulness and goodness to offer in dark times. We will be the church without spot or wrinkle, unmarred and on full display. We will not be exclusive or divisive. We will respond with faith, hope, love, prayer, conversation, peace and action. There's healing in Jesus. There's hope in His church. And there's power-filled help from His Spirit in this time of need. We sincerely hope that you will join us on Sunday, August 28th and stand in prayer with us.
Together we stand,
Pastor Marc Estes
Future Lead Pastor of City Bible Church
