Thank you!

Posted on February 19, 2011 by Ken

Many thanks to all of those who attended the American Prayer Hour at First Methodist Church on February 1, 2011!  Thanks to you we had a great event that helped raise awareness of the plight of GLBT people in Uganda and the role played there in encouraging the infamous “kill the gays bill” by the sponsors (“The Family”) of the annual National Prayer Breakfast.  See http://www.americanprayerhour.org/ for more information.

An article about the breakfast appeared in the Kalamazoo Gazette:  http://www.mlive.com/living/kalamazoo/index.ssf/2011/01/first_american_prayer_hour_bre.html
