Event Alert: Join Us For June 1 Williamsburg Prayer Event
Mark your calendar for June 1st as we again join with concerned citizens from Hampton Roads and across the Commonwealth who will gather in Williamsburg to call out to God to restore our nation to its Judeo-Christian principles and heal our land.
On June 1, 1774, the Virginia House of Burgesses called a Day of Humiliation, Fasting and Prayer as the American colonist called out to the Lord to intervene when the British closed the harbor at Boston on that same day. Today, our foes are much different, but they are just as real. Whether the attack is on life, on marriage or on religious liberty, we know that there are real threats to our freedom, liberty and prosperity.
We will be commemorating that important prayer event on Wednesday, June 1, 2011 in beautiful Colonial Williamsburg. The Family Foundation is joining with an ad hoc group called Virginians for Liberty asking the Lord to have mercy on us and heal our land. Click here to see David Barton address this very important event in Colonial Williamsburg. After watching it, please share it with your friends, family members and especially your pastor. We have a similar video available that is designed to be shown in churches during worship services and will make the link available to any church who would like to show it to their congregation. If your church does not have the ability to download and show the video, we can also make a DVD copy available for viewing.
We will assemble at the Colonial Capitol on Duke of Gloucester Street in Colonial Williamsburg promptly at 8:00 a.m. and walk to Bruton Parish Church where prayers will be offered along with some 18th century hymns. This will cover several blocks, so be sure to wear comfortable shoes. We will finish promptly at 9:00 a.m. Bring a U.S., Virginia or Christian flag and wave it as a symbol of your devotion to this cause.
Parking can be confusing around Colonial Williamsburg. There is a parking lot near Bassett Hall, 522 Francis Street East, Williamsburg, VA 23185-4207, which is very convenient to the Old Capitol.
For more information or questions please call Roger Pogge in our office at 804-343-0010. I look forward to seeing you there!
