The Millburn event held in the First Baptist Church, was
about 45 min. in length and attended by about 75 folks. This year we
hung a large banner on the church's property which was visible on
Millburn Ave. (the main thorofare) stating "Celebrate the National Day
of Prayer -- the first Thursday in May." We think it attracted a few
who hadn't previously attended. God was glorified as "God Bless
America" was sung; Millburn Proclamation and Ex. 20:1-17 read; Prayer
of National Confession followed by leaders praying for government,
families, education, media, military & teens were offered.
