Event: “Operation Armor All” (OPD Chaplains Initiative)


Summary:

The chaplains are asking citizens to join them in 40 Days of Prayer to reclaim our city from violent crime. “Operation Armor All” is being launched on Wednesday, October 10, 2007 and will run through Sunday, November 18, 2007. They are asking churches of Orlando to commit to pray diligently for these 40 days. Forty (40) churches are needed to commit to one of the 40 days to lead a one-hour prayer and praise time in a target community.

The first 40 days will be at the new Parramore Heritage Park located at the corner of Church Street and Parramore Avenue. Churches may want to include praise and worship or prefer a prayer walk around the beautiful park.

The Faith-based community has asked to get involved in making Orlando a safer city. This initiative as with Neighborhood Watch, Citizens on Patrol, and other volunteer programs is another way to engage citizens, who want to make a difference in our community,
