Special Day of Prayer
The Synod has appointed “a special Day of Humiliation and Prayer on Wednesday, 8 September 2010, to be held throughout the Church to beseech the Most High that He prevent the schemes and plans of the Roman Antichrist against this Protestant nation, and that He pour out His Spirit upon the professing Church in our land and the whole world, and that the people might return to His Word and find repentance for their departures from Him”.
