Virtual Prayer Gathering Scheduled for Allegany County

The Mission Genesee Valley coalition of Allegany County churches and other Christian organizations is hosting an online public prayer gathering on Pentecost Sunday to pray for the county and region.

The virtual activity will start at 6 p.m. Sunday, May 31, through a livestream over the Journey to Transformation Facebook page at www.facebook.com/TransformationJourneyUSA.
This is the first prayer gathering the group has held since start of the coronavirus pandemic, having canceled its March event due to COVID-19.  It had held monthly prayer gatherings concerning various focus areas at different churches in the county prior to that time.
The gathering is designed to “join our hearts and voices in one accord for the needs in our county and for praying for a powerful work of God's Spirit among us,” according to Pastor Gene Miller of Yorks Corners Mennonite Church, coalition vice-chair.  “We continue to pray in expectant faith to a good God who hears and answers prayer.”

Pentecost, celebrated 50 days after Easter Sunday, commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ while they were in Jerusalem celebrating the Feast of Weeks, as described in the Book of Acts of the Bible   It represents the birth of the early church.
