Time to Move from Dialogue to Praying Together |
|
The primary
purpose of this website, is to serve as a conversational piece and introduction to something that's been on the hearts
of many Christians: A need for those of us who know Christ to come together and seek the Lord because He both desires our
company and also for the spiritual needs of our families and neighbors, chief of which is Salvation. Though some pertinent
information will be dispensed on this site, it will not serve as a daily or weekly update on happenings concerning
the PCPC. The main reason for this is that the Holy Spirit is birthing real friendships, which cannot be tracked
or reported as if they were events within a political or civic organization.
I grew
up here in the Park Circle area, like my mother and her parents.
Nearly everyday, I imagine
what it would be like if those of us touched by His love were to pull together on the many things we agree on and begin to
worship the Lord and pray for those who've yet to know Him. There is nothing so satisfying, moving, filling and lasting
as the manifest presence of the Lord. Nothing can add to or improve upon the Holy Spirit. There are scores of Christians in
the Park Circle area who desire to see God move among us. If you weep when when you hear a great worship song or have been
in a great worship setting while desiring others to know this wonderful Lord, then it would be encouraging to hear from you!
I have felt for a while that I'm to get to know my fellow brothers and sisters along the Park
Circle - Remount Road - Rivers Avenue Area. There are too many people around us who have never encountered the Lord
or His love. There are too many of us here not to begin to worship and work together.
There
is truly nothing more attractive and wonderful as the Person of Christ. You and I know this and feel it more everyday.
There are 25,000 Christian denominations and affiliations around the planet. Is the Body of
Christ an organization or a spiritual organism of people whose hearts bare His Personal signature and whose names themselves
are on a roll in Heaven? It has not been our differences that have kept us apart, but our pride in those differences. The
Humble Christ deserves more from us.
My heart is full and hopes high. We
shall see.
Can you help? Would you join in
encouraging Christian leaders and laypeople in the Park Circle area to begin to come together for the purpose of seeking the
Lord?
There is no need for money and it will never be asked for, nor is
this the forming of another (legal) organization (The PCPC logo was designed for a project which is "in season").
This is an effort to know my neighbors better and also an encouragement to pull us together in worship as we reach
our neighbors with His love.
You can reach us via e-mail at info@parkcircleprayer.com.
It would be wonderful to hear from you!
In Him,
A Citizen of the Park Circle Community

Riverfront Park
This is a great place to get away for families and a super
place for church gatherings. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to predict that we'll probably see some significant
mulit-church worship celebrations at this park's outdoor amphitheatre.

Trainland!
All around the Park Circle area, more so than any other part of the
Lowcountry, there are trains. There's even a model train club on Jenkins Avenue, just off East Montague directly across
from Heinson Field.

Recommended Reading:
"That None Should Perish" by Ed Silvolso is a documentary on the impact of corporate prayer among many congregations
within a modern day city. See what real revival looks like. Charles Colson's "Being the Body" is a powerful
book on prayer within the Church around the world while Jim Cymbala's "Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire" focuses on
prayer within the congregation. Rice and Perkins share a powerful work on relationships within the Christian community touching
upon issues of race: "More Than Equals". And finally, Dutch Sheet's "Intercessory Prayer" is a powerful
hand book on the individual prayer life. These books are well-written and very useful.
Parkcircleprayer.com is a
parachurch and laypeople's effort, not a congregation, with the sole
purpose of glorifying the Lord by supporting the divine institutions of the family and local congregation through the facilitation
of community-wide prayer events which are led by Christian leaders who are concerned for the souls in the Park Circle - Remount
Road and Rivers Avenue Area and who desire to please the Lord by seeking Him together.
