A Call To Prayer for the New Legislative Sessions

Today in Springfield, Bruce Rauner took the oath of office to become the 42nd Governor of Illinois.  This coming Wednesday, state lawmakers will be sworn in for the 99th session of the Illinois General Assembly.  Last week in Washington D.C., federal lawmakers in the U.S. House and U.S. Senators were sworn in to begin a new session of the U.S. Congress — the 114th Congress to be precise.

We want to encourage you to please set aside some time this week to specifically pray for our state and national political leaders. It would be good and wise if Christians throughout the state commit to praying regularly for these men and women.
