Egypt Community Church invites you to attend a special prayer service 7-8 p.m. Nov. 1.

It does not matter what church you go to or what your political affiliation is. It will not be a regular church service. There will be no sermon given and the only offering will be prayers.

There will be no mention of individual political candidates, parties or platforms. This is a gathering of prayer for the heart and soul and future of our nation, our families and the universal Body of Christ worldwide.

“If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land,” says 2 Chronicles 7:14 in the Bible.
