 2008 Arkansas Canopy of Prayers

On Tuesday, March 11th, Little Portion Hermitage sponsored a day of prayer
as part of the 366 days of prayer being prayed throughout Arkansas for eight intentions: family, Church, military, government, Education/youth, media, marketplace and for Arkansas.  Many churches throughout the State are hosting one day at their local church.  Once 365 churches accept the call, Arkansas will be covered with prayer for all of 2008.

Each Church organizes a day of prayer anyway they like.  Little Portion hosted a one-hour interdenominational prayer program in addition to opening
our doors at noon for prayer. The formal ceremony began with the solemn
lighting of candles at 5 PM, followed by Vespers and a meditation/reconciliation service instead of the usual intercessions.  JMT shared his reflections on each of the above categories.

Those attending were invited to hammer a nail into the cross to signify our prayer intention and sacrifice to God.  As visitors left they were invited to take a heart-shaped stone with a prayer intention written on it to remind us to continue praying.

We ended with a time of fellowship over coffee and hot cross buns in the common center.  What a joyful event it is when we can pray with our non-Catholic brothers and sisters!
