National Chain Prayer Cancelled
After much prayer, many conversations, and several chats, it has been decided that the National Chain Prayer is being cancelled.
We still feel as if this is a great idea, but there was just not enough momentum for it to truly make it “national.” The elders at Lebanon Road spent a lot of time with this decision, and their basic feeling was that it would be better not to do it than to advertise something as a big, national program, and then not have it materialize in that way.
To Joey Sparks, Chad Landman, Scott Bond Jr., Daniel Howell, and Shane Williams, who helped with the design work, social media, and website, thank you. You truly did a great job. You spent a lot of time and effort out of the goodness of your heart, and the elders at Lebanon Road and I cannot thank you enough for your work and for your heart.
We would highly encourage congregations to still have prayer for our nation leading up to the elections in November, because we feel that prayer is powerful and makes a great difference. Lebanon Road will be having a special service on Sunday night, November 4, to pray for our nation and the elections, and we would encourage you to have something similar.
We will leave this page up for several more days to help you spread the word of the cancellation of this event. For those who were involved in any way, thank you, but we pray that you see the much-prayed-over reasons for this decision.
In Him,
Adam Faughn

I was gonna make one last big push at our next elders’ meeting. That’s too bad, but I understand.

well, we were on board, and were going to do it – but I understand how daunting a task this would have been.
