During this 24-hour period, opportunities will include Drive-Through Prayer, Park and Pray, Spaces for Prayer and Listening, and a Front-Porch Prayer Gathering.
People can attend the UMC of Libertyville for their 24 hours of prayer or churches can host prayer gatherings in their buildings.
If your church cannot host for the entire 24 hours, consider devoting part of the day for prayer and encourage participation in the UMC of Libertyville opportunities for the other times.
