by

For those who were able, thank you for participating in the 2020 Montgomery County National Day of Prayer!

Stay tuned for news of future commnity prayer & outreach events. If you were unable to participate or would like to review the event, please see below a link to the video from the Zoom call. 

Unfortunately, the prayers for our community were inadvertently not recorded.  We are very sorry not to be able to share them – they were powerful and moving. Many thanks to the following community leaders for participating: 

  • Antonio Cyrus, Lead Pastor, Interdenominational Church of God, representing United in Action.
  • Nicole Hayes, D.C.Area Director, Christian Medical & Dental Associations
  • Meredith McNerney, Principal, Gaithersburg Elementary School
  • Officer Jeremy Wojdan, Montgomery County Police Department
  • Clark Kendall, Kendall Capital, representing the Christian Business Men’s Connection
  • Patrick Young, Physician & Navy Veteran at Walter Reed Hospital

Below is a link to a follow-up a prayer and reflection exercise, provided by our keynote speaker, Rick Barry, from the Center for Christian Civics.  This is a helpful way to turn our own hearts towards God and transform any frustration, blame or resentment into constructive, Kingdom-centered action when the time of quarantine is over.
