Feb. 15 is a day of prayer for women of Union County

BLAIRSVILLE, Ga – During the January Union County Commission meeting, Sole Commissioner Lamar Paris proclaimed Feb. 15, 2020 as a day of prayer for the women of Union County.

Cindy Bailey, of Notla River Baptist Association, spoke about the event being held all-day on the 15^th at North Georgia Technical College (NGTC) Blairsville Campus as part of a global women’s prayer movement.

“As an answer to a lot of hurting people, especially hurting women throughout the country. The call came out at the National Day of Prayer that they should gather the women as Psalm 68:11 says,” stated Bailey.

NGTC will be take place from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and is open to all women or women’s group. It is non-denominational and non-political. The event is purely to pray for women as part of the She Loves Out Loud movement. For those that can’t attend She Loves Out Loud is offering a free interactive livestream.

The organization invites women to “pray in the Gap between trauma and triumph, anger and peace, [as well as] bitterness and forgiveness.”

“We’re there to pray for healing and hope for women: abused women, women who have been sex trafficked, [and] women who are seeking motherhood through fostering or adoption,” explained Bailey.

The first half of the event will focus on those special needs in Union County. The three areas that will be covered are suicide, mental illness, and community connectivity.

“Women throughout the ages have prayed,” said Bailey, “Prayed for the children they’re carrying. Prayed for the children that were born. Prayed for their husbands that have gone off to war. And likewise, on Feb. 15, women will be gathered together for the first time in prayer unity.”
