I could not find any announcement of the Day of Prayer in the worship bulletin, and the worship leader did not mention it in any way. But I had a very different and moving experience when I visited Swain Memorial UMC on Tangier Island.

I was deeply touched and moved by their prayer, and my hope was strengthened for a new future. Today everyone says that we, The United Methodist Church, are at a crossroads. All of us are worrying about the future of our denomination. But not everyone prays seriously for our churches. Is it too difficult for us to pray for a renewal and revival of our churches during the worship time? We faithfully remember and pray for people in need. What about including the need for a renewal and revival of our churches in our pastoral prayers and prayers for our community? Is it too difficult for us to keep on praying for a revival of our beloved UMC? If we pray together, I believe great things will happen to our churches. We truly need faith in prayer. We need to trust in our Lord who answers our prayers. In closing, I would like to share with you a prayer for the church, from our Book of Worship #501:
