A Prayer for the People

We invite you to join us with your own prayers as you watch this video. If you would like to share your prayers, please feel free to comment on this post.

DisciplesNet Worship #109 – “After the Polls Close”, a Prayer Service for National Unity (SCC, 11-06-2012)

This short worship service (22 minutes) was taped at Southport Christian Church, Indianapolis, IN, on November 6, 2012, just after the voting close on Election Day in the United States.   Following a contentious time leading up to the election, some members supporting various candidates were moved to come together in prayer for their country, that peace might be restored and wisdom prevail. The service includes music, scripture, time for prayer, and a short communion service, for it is at the table that we become one body.

We hope that people of all political beliefs and all countries will find this a meaningful way to unite after a heated election period, believing that God will respond when Christians come together in prayer for healing and guidance.
