Beginning Wednesday September 4th, which is also Rosh Shoshanna, the Jewish New Year, to September 14th, which is also Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. There are coast to coast gatherings each evening to pray and in some locations, day time prayer as well. On the Jewish calendar these are known as “the Days of Awe,” days to mourn our separation from God. But we as Christians get to do this knowing that the Atonement is complete in Jesus!
I have worked alongside others over the last few years to organize 10 days leading into Pentecost. They have all been blessed times of unity among the various churches that participate. I expect this fall 10 Days to be no different!
The events that affect our country, at home and around the world right now are only part of the motivation to pray. This is about so much more than current events. We are asking God to help us to fall more in live with him. We attempt to realize the price He paid for us and to mourn our distance from Him, our loving Abba. But the entire exercise is built on the hope of the Cross and our redemption. Our desire it to live life to the full, drawing others to eternal life. We can only do that as people who are love-sick for our God.
I am involved with organizing gatherings across the North Shore of Boston, from Salem to Gloucester. Please see our local calendar below. If you are interested in a 10 days devotional that has just been assembled, please email me and I will forward a copy to you. If you are in the area, stop in any one or all of the nights.
