Day of prayer lightly attended

TO THE EDITOR:

Last week, Christians had a chance to stand tall for Jesus.

Last Thursday was deemed the National Day of Prayer, and there was a local gathering at our Farmers Market. But what did we do? Some people had engagements. Some did not feel well. Others forgot.

I wonder if these people will be the first to gripe when the nation, and McMinnville, do not honor this day?

Some Christians complain that there is nothing for us to do. Well a special day of prayer was held and only a few attended. Even the preachers who holler the loudest about Jesus could not get their priorities straight as very few were there.

Are Christians to blame for neglecting this day set aside for prayer?
