JOIN US FOR A PRAYER VIGIL TO LIFT UP OIL SPILL CRISIS


REVOLUTIONARIES: This event has come together very quickly. Once the idea came up, all of the pieces fell into place and we felt it was important to move ahead with this. Given the short time frame, we need YOUR help in spreading the word. Please share this information with your churches, your family, your friends, and anyone else you'd want to invite. IF YOU WOULD LIKE A PRINTABLE PDF FILE OF THE FLYER SHOWN BELOW, CONTACT ME AT INFO@DIRTYROOTSREVOLUTION.COM OR 618.267.5436.

Thank you,
Ryan Mifflin, Director



The Dirty Roots Revolution has announced a prayer vigil, held to offer prayers for the ongoing oil spill crisis in the Gulf Coast. The event will be held at 6 p.m. Thursday evening, June 10th on the south lawn of the Bond County Courthouse.

Dirty Roots Revolution Director Ryan Mifflin explained, “This gathering is being held to lift up this devastating situation in prayer. We will pray for the affected environment and wildlife, for the workers who have become ill, those who have lost their livelihood, and for those involved in the cleanup.”

“This gathering will not be political in any way,” said Mifflin. “We won’t be laying blame, complaining about the situation, or discussing how anyone feels it should be handled. We believe it’s gone past the point of blame and arguing and we want to collectively be in prayer; that something would be done and whatever is done would be swift and effective. The impact from this disaster is huge.”

The prayer vigil is a non-denominational gathering and everyone is invited to attend.

“We promise to have the event concluded by 6:30, so folks have plenty of time to get a spot at the Municipal Band concert at the library at 7 p.m.,” said Mifflin.
