[Announce] A call to fasting and prayer in September

[Robert Waldrop]

The Fall Ember Days are coming up, September 20, 
22, and 23.  These are traditional days of fasting 
and prayer to thank God for the gifts of nature, 
to teach men to make use of them in moderation, 
and to assist the needy

I encourage everybody to observe these days of 
fasting and prayer. There are many complicated 
crises in this world, and we need to turn to God 
in prayer for peace and justice.
