Next Thursday, MAY 2, people

from throughout Georgia and America will be gathering for the National

Day of Prayer. At no time in recent history is prayer more needed than

now.

Here is the schedule for the

Fayette and Coweta County prayer opportunities:

Fayette County

Fountain.

Prayer Breakfast at 8 a.m.

at Grace Evangelical Church on Flat Creek Trail, Fayetteville.

Noonday prayer at First Baptist

Newnan.

Intercessor's Prayer Meeting

at 7 p.m. hosted by All Souls Church of God in Christ.

In my most humble and unbiased

opinion (my wife says I have no humble and unbiased opines), I believe

you can never get enough of God's blessings.

As if the National Day of Prayer

was not enough joy and blessing for you, there is another wonderful family

event Saturday, May 4, in Fayetteville the Celebrate Jesus Parade and

Fair. I encourage you to bring your church people, choir, praise team,

youth group, van, float, special vehicle, motorcycle, pets and children

for this day-long event.

If you have a vehicle or float,

come to the Fayette County High School parking lot at 9 a.m. to decorate

your float or vehicle and line up for the parade. At 10 a.m. the parade

will move out toward Hood Avenue and turn right up to Highway 85 and Main

Street.

The parade will progress to

the square and a fun-filled family spiritual event awaits you. There will

be food, music, singing, clowns, moon walk, living history individuals

in costume, spiritual speakers, and churches sharing their outreach programs

for your family. The events will go until late afternoon.

This will be the fifth annual

event like this and each year it gets bigger and better with more community

participation.

I trust that God has been good

to you and your family. Here is a chance to say thank you in your participation

in Thursday's National Day of Prayer and Saturday's Celebrate Jesus Day.

Remember there are groups and organizations and governments around the

world who are working overtime to shut down events like these. As for

me and my family, and our church, we will participate in both events actively,

and gladly.

The Rev. Dr. Knox Herndon

is pastor of His House Community Church (SBC). The Rev. Greg Mausz is

senior associate pastor. The Rev. Dr. Lydia Herndon is the Sunday School

superintendent, Bible study coordinator and teacher. The church is just

below Fayetteville, on Ga. Highway 85, a mile south of Ga. Highway 16,
