The "A Call to Intercession" prayer service was held Thursday night at the Kennebec Valley Baptist Church in Waterville. Approximately eighty Christians from central and southern Maine attended the service. It was co-sponsored by the Christian Civic League of Maine, the Concerned Women for America of Maine, and the Maine Jeremiah Project. The event was hosted by Dr. Kevin Grant, pastor of the Kennebec Valley Baptist Church.

Tim Russell, the Christian Civic League's Legislative Liason led the worship and prayer service. Tim is also a church member and church leader within the Kennebec Valley Baptist Church. After an invocation and greeting from Pastor Grant, Tim explained to those gathered, that the service was meant to repent of our own personal sins, pray to the Lord for revival in our churches, and to ask for intercession from the Lord for a renewal of righteousness and holiness in our culture.
Tim read extensively from Proverbs, and other chapters of the Bible throughout the service. Those in attendance gathered in small groups within the sanctuary for spoken and non-spoken prayer. After each of the three small-group prayer sessions, there was a hymn sung by all.

Repentance of personal sin, strength for local pastors and congregations, wisdom for our national, State, and local officials, protection for our military troops, and guidance for our youth. The closing hymn, appropriately, was "God Bless America."
