In light of the COVID-19 global pandemic, and in accordance with Article 66 of our Church Order, the Free Reformed Churches of North America have issued a call for a special day of prayer on Saturday, April 25, with a service at 1:00 PM. This service will be led by Dr. G. M. Bilkes in Grand Rapids Free Reformed Church, and will be live-streamed via Sermon Audio. There is reason for us as churches to examine ourselves (Psalm 139:23-24), to confess and lament our sins (Psalm 51:1-4), to repent from our idolatrous inclinations, to petition Him for His forgiving, renewing, preserving and healing mercies, and to glorify Him for who He is and what He has done as Judge of all the earth and as Redeemer and Lord.
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14).
