What Ever Happen To Wednesday Evening Prayer Meeting?
I grew up in a little rural town in Alabama....And to this day I can still remember how almost every local church in our community had a Wednesday evening prayer meeting....I believe it made a difference in our communities.....But today our Wednesday evenings has mostly become a Bible Study Hour.....Think about it! if there's power in prayer especially corporate prayer then why isn't the church doing more of it?
I was looking at the church scene of today and I've notice very few churches still have Wednesday evening prayer meeting....Please don't get me wrong I'm not trying to discourage Bible studies at all....But shouldn’t the church of today have more time set aside during the week for corporate prayer meetings? If the church does not promote prayer time who will? I believe kingdom-focused prayer is need for our country right now especially the black community....This prayer time could be spent praying and offering up praise and worship with thanksgiving to God.
