IMPORTANT MESSAGE:

God's Spirit has moved thousands of people to come to Washington, D.C. to witness to their faith
that Jesus calls us to be peacemakers. It appears that God intends for our witness to burst the
seams of Washington with many more than can fit in the National Cathedral.

God continues to call YOU and others to join this witness!
However, seating in the National Cathedral is full.

Click here to sign up for: http://www.reachandteach.com/rtsurvey/public/survey.php?name=cpw_newreg

1. standing outside the Cathedral with 1000 others and listen by loud speaker and then join the 4-mile prayer procession,

or

2. worshipping indoors with up to 1000 other witnesses in the sanctuary of New York Ave Presbyterian Church,
view and hear the Cathedral service on large screen TV, and join together in prayer and song.
Following worship, this group will process by candlelight 4 blocks to Lafayette Park for the vigil there.
This is an especially good option for those who cannot walk the 4 mile procession from the Cathedral to the White House.

We need many, many thousands to surround the White House with the bright light of Christ and prayers for peace.

Join us and bring your friends so in the spirit of Christ we can make a powerful witness to our government and the world.
