Pray on MLK

One voice united in prayer-filled action

Today, there is so much division. We are being torn apart by our differences...but God created us all in his image and to exist together in unity. So, it's time we come together. Join us and others all over the nation as we form a nationwide, multi-ethnic, cross-denominational human prayer chain to ask God to tear down wickedness, raise up righteousness, and heal our land.

When: On August 8th, 2020, at 6:01PM on Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Highway (I-135 in Wichita), we're inviting you to take your place side-by-side with brothers and sisters on the wall of history and stand in solidarity against racism, injustice, and division.

Where:  We will line up on the pedestrian bridge over MLK (I-135) - located about 1 block South of Harry St. Parking and access to the walking bridge is available at Linwood Park -1901 S Kansas St, Wichita, KS 67211.
(If we fill this bridge, we will proceed to fill the next pedestrian bridge located 1 block North of Harry St at North Linwood Park - Pedestrian bridge access at the corner of Park St & Minnesota)

Let us know you are coming by RSVPing on Facebook!

Instructions for the event:
- People line up side by side with white tape over their mouths/masks (displaying a one-word prayer focus) in silent prayer (Please follow social distancing guidelines - 6 feet apart, wear face mask for everyone's health and safety).
- Before the event, each person writes one word on their tape that signifies their prayer focus (ex. "love", "justice", "holy", "healing", "unity", peace, etc.). Tape and sharpies provided on-site for those who do not have their own🙂
-Signs are welcome in addition to the tape demonstration (please, let’s make sure they focus on and reflect the heart of Jesus in the framework of biblical justice - please avoid politicized statements)
- Feel free to bring a chair as needed or whatever you may need physically to pray for an hour!
- Please plan to be present for the full hour
- At 7:01pm, we will move down to linwood park and spend time in worship and prayer as a group pleading the blood of Jesus over our sins and the sins of our brothers and sisters around Wichita, the United States, and throughout the world.

This event is part of a global prayer event led by Civil Righteousness. For more information on them visit https://civilrighteousness.org/
