sie Rev. Eugene Land leads prayer service at Kings Mountain City Hall. a 50 KM citizens Over 50 Kings Mountain resi- dents gathered at City Hall Thursday for the city's third annual National Day of Prayer service. Rev. Eugene Land, pastor of Second Baptist Church, led the program which included prayers of praise to God and prayers for re- vival, moral re-birth in the nation, government leaders and individual citizens. ; Rev. Land termed the program a huge success. "You could feel the Spirit of God here," Rev. Land said at the close of the meeting. It is a marvelous thing to gather at City Hall to pray for the rebirth of Judeao-Christian ethics and morals". Land pointed out that the National Day of Prayer was estab- lished in 1952 by President Truman, was reaffirmed by President Bush in 1988, and was begun in Kings Mountain three years ago with the title "Meet At City Hall." Individuals led each portion of the structured prayers which were broadcast live over Radio Station WKMT from 12:20-12:45 p.m. Mayor Scott Neisler, who wel- comed the crowd, said it was "very fitting" that the program be held at City Hall. "If the moral fiber of the nation is to be made right again we have to put God back in our every- day lives," he said. Sarah George led a prayer of praise to God. Rev. David Philbeck, pastor of Macedonia Baptist Church, prayed for revival in homes, schools and churches, asking for "good Christian teachers and leaders." Philbeck pointed out, and many in the crowd agreed, that "we sat back and let one person decide that God wasn't important in our schools and today we're paying the price for it." He pointed out that repentance is not just an attitude of "feeling sor- ry," but that it involves a "complete about face" of the way one lives his life. "This country is great not be- cause of who we are but because Who we serve," he said. Rev. Larry Bums, pastor of Faith Baptist Church, called for a new morality in schools, homes and churches. "We've forgotten that God was in the hearts and lives of our founding fathers," he said. "They would never do anything contrary to God's will." Burns said the nation needs to see a rebirth of its leaders in churches, homes, and in every area ° A A ‘ i Church Briefs Macedonia Baptist sets VBS June 5-10 Macedonia Baptist Church, 1101 S.

"Remind us that You are in charge and people in government are ‘there because you've allowed them to be there." Rev. Land said Americans are "blessed to be in a democracy where ‘we pick our own leaders" and that by choosing leaders that citizens have the right to criticize them. "But we should spend 10 times as much time praying for them as criticizing them." Betty Mitchell prayed for gov- ernment ‘leaders on the local, state and national level, and asked that "Christians would cross the paths" of government leaders who are not believers and cause them "turn to You." She asked that any leader "that is not of You" be removed and "re- placed by Your people." She prayed for the City of Kings Mountain, all City Council mem- bers and the Mayor, and said that "whatever is in store for this city, You have designed it. You are the King that is over Kings Mountain." Rev. John Futterer, pastor of Resurrection Lutheran Church, led a prayer of consecration of the citi- zens attending the meeting, asking that they all seek "a real sense of v Your direction" in their lives.
