On November 14, the House of Representatives and the United States Senate passed an unprecedented concurrent resolution establishing a "National Day of Reconciliation," to take place Tuesday, December 4, 2001. On that day, our nation and elected representatives will pause to seek God's blessings in prayers for unity, forgiveness, reconciliation and charity.
We urge Presidential Prayer Team members,the Pastoral Pastors Prayer Conference members, and other prayer warriors to tell their friends and colleagues, so that all of America will rightly honor this important event in the history of our nation, along with both houses of Congress.
Please let all of your friends know about this very important event, that is only 2 weeks away.
