You and your family members, friends, co-workers, fellow church members, your pastors, Sunday School/ Small Groups are invited to participate in the NEIGHBORHOOD PRAYER WALK, Saturday – RAIN or SHINE.
Participants are asked to meet at the SURPLUS WAREHOUSE parking lot, next to the former Kmart, at 8:30 a.m., for complimentary sausage and biscuits, coffee and fellowship.
Prayer and instructions follow, and at 8:55 a.m., those participating will walk west along Old Hickory Boulevard at 9 a.m., with a stop five minutes later to join hands on the sidewalks on Old Hickory Boulevard to lift up the surrounding area.
Immediately following the corporate prayer, participants will break-off in small groups and walk up and down the streets off Old Hickory praying for the homes on that block.
“There is no agenda. There is no political motive,” said Clark Shaw, who is helping organized the Walk, “We just know that prayer changes lives and circumstances. (Saturday) is simply taking a brief time to pray blessings and protection over families and children, for strengthening marriages, healing, restoration, and salvation for the lost in the neighborhood … all in the power of Jesus’ name.”
Clark and Juanita Shaw, Kathy and Garry Martin are organizing the NEIGHBORHOOD PRAYER WALK.
The program ends at 10 a.m., with a very brief wrap up and thank you time.
“We believe in the power of prayer and in bringing our churches together,” Shaw said. “We are hoping God will give us hundreds of people to TAKE A WALK and MAKE A STAND to pray and Bless our neighbors.”
Shaw said the Jackson Police Department is planning a free community cookout following the event in the SURPLUS WAREHOUSE parking lot – for those living in the Old Hickory Boulevard – west area.
Shaw said the Jackson Fire Department will have a FIRE ENGINE, the EMS will have an AMBULANCE and the Emergency Air Vac is flying in a HELICOPTER for the Police Department’s COMMUNITY COOKOUT.
