On this Friday November 13th Churches United of the Quad City Area asks for a time of silence and prayers. Over the past week there have been yet more killings on college campuses, individual shootings and now this senseless terrorism in Paris. While there are groups locally deciding what impact we can make regarding a non-violent world, their action plans will not be implemented for some time to come. That is why we are asking for one hour of your time. Tomorrow morning at 9:00, we ask that you turn the TV off, put down the iPad and not worry about who will win the college school football game. For one hour, stop what you are doing, be silent, and pray for all those that have been affected by these horrible violent acts.
"While these acts may or may not effect us directly here at home, it is important that we show our support and pray for those who are suffering right now," said Anne Wachal, Executive Director of Churches United.
We also ask for prayers for our younger generations, as they will inherit this increasingly violent world. Our hearts and minds are sad tonight as we continue to pray during this time.
