40 Days of Prayer for the Mountains

[Nancy Barrigar]

LEAF is a distinctly Christian group, working for the protection of Tennessee mountains.  But people of all faiths can join in this focused effort to pray and raise awareness about the need to prevent mountain-top removal mining.

LEAF, the Lindquist Environmental Appalachian Fellowship, invites all Tennessee Christians and Christian churches to join us in 40 Days of Prayer for the Mountains, Dec. 2, 2011- Jan. 10, 2012.
Three ways to participate:

• You can join LEAF in 40 days of daily prayer for God’s Creation.  Receive a specially selected prayer daily by subscribing to e-mail action alerts here.
• Your church, Sunday school class or prayer group can lead a day of prayer. Your church or group may observe your leadership day in any way that you feel led. A special service, remembrance in a regular service, a vigil, creative event, nature outing or simply having group members commit to individual prayers for creation, are examples of ways to lead.
• You, your pastor, a local author, or anyone from your church can write a prayer for creation and post it to the LEAF web site and for consideration as one of the 40 specially selected daily prayers.  Prayers may be original or submitted with the permission of the author.

To sign up for a leadership day or submit a prayer, e-mail LEAF at: [e-mail].  To sign up to receive daily prayers and other action alerts, register here.

LEAF works to raise awareness of the scriptural call to care for God’s creation and to stop mountain top removal coal mining in Tennessee. 40 Days of Prayer is an event sponsored by LEAF to unite and focus Tennessee Christians in prayerful support of political action on behalf of mountains.
