Praying for our Community Sponsored by BridGe Network.
Dear Rochester / Monroe County Residents and Friends,
The
Monroe County-wide Prayer Initiative, now in its fourth year has been a
resounding success - connecting hundreds throughout the year in praying
for our community. For 2010, The BridGe Network is again happy to
introduce the county-wide prayer initiative with the theme "Rochester
Prays" in the form of a prayer schedule that will be distributed
throughout the community. Employing a collective, yet flexible strategy
of prayer, the 2010 prayer schedule
will result in participants systematically praying for almost every
neighborhood in the City of Rochester, as well as, every town and
village in Monroe County.
Weekly "community profiles" will be made
available for each "community of focus" on our website:
www.bridgerochester.org, or via email. If you want to receive a weekly
profile via email, simply send a message to prayer@bridgerochester.org,
and we will add you to the email list. Please feel free to
forward the prayer schedule to your circle or to let folks know it is
available on our web site. If you have someone that prefers a hard copy
just let us know and we will mail one to them. Thank you in
advance for joining us in this critical venture for our community.
