For the past several months a small group of Visalians have been meeting at Lincoln Oval Park to pray for our families, our community, and our world. From 12:30 – 1:00 p.m. we read our Bibles, pray, write in our journals, or meditate. There is no leader, no script…just an open invitation to pray.
Today I was the only one there, and I must admit to feeling a bit ill at ease. I have been to Oval Park many times, but never alone — and that changes things. But my Bible fell open to the Psalms, so that’s where I stayed. I received some curious — even hostile — looks from Oval Park regulars. None approached me, though, so I simply prayed until 1:00, then went home.
Next month we will be praying at Oval Park on Thursday, September 17. You are most welcome to join us.
