It will be a different kind of Sept. 11 ceremony, one that its local organizers say centers on the need for a spiritual awakening in America. Supported by Covenant Presbyterian Church, the “Wake Up, America” prayer event will be held Friday at noon at the old courthouse in Fayetteville.

The one-hour, non-political event will be a time of prayer and patriotic music, according to church member Carolyn Wyatt, and with a purpose of “praying and crying out to the Lord for mercy and for a new Christ Awakening in our nation.”

Prayer leaders at the event include Bob Dukes, Dr. John Keller and former professional bodybuilder and Mr. Olympia record holder Lee Haney.

Wyatt said the public is invited to attend. Parking will be available at the Baptist and Methodist churches or at the county government complex.

For more information contact Carolyn Wyatt at (770) 487-1379 or at troycarolyn@aol.com or for more information on the national movement visit http://awakeningamerica.org/

“...praying and crying out to the Lord for mercy and for a new Christ Awakening in our nation.”... You're right, because 9/11 was all about religious fundamentalism and was a wake-up call from Al Qaeda that America should get right with god. You're just doing what Al Qaeda wants us to do. You're letting Al Qaeda know that they won.

That is the required birhtrate for a society to maintain its population. When the population declines, so does the culture and a new one takes over. The combined eurpoean birthrate is 1.38. Spain is the lowest at 1.1. But the population is not declining due to Islamic immigration and their families have a size of 8.1 people. I find it ironic that the great European Union is going to turn islamic majority within my lifetime. The Netherlands by 2020 and Germany by 2050. The society that you embrace mainstream is the one that is killing itself demographically. Ironic, itsn't it? You are going to miss us Christians, or at least your descendants will. Native born US is 1.8

Do you feel better now that you have put down someone else and their activities? Nobody said you had to go. It sounds nice and I think I'll go but if I didn't want to I wouldn't put it down.

It's strange how some people think religion should be kept locked up inside a church building. Sorry main, we're coming out!

Main Stream you are "doing what Al Qaeda wants us to do. You're letting Al Qaeda know that they won". Al Qaeda wants Americans to turn on each other and they want us to believe as they do. They want Christians and every other religion to believe as they do and live as they do. You feed right into what they want. You should go live with the Taliban.
You are one of those nuts who blame America for 9/11. You are a cruel person. If you had a loved one die at the World Trade Center or in a plane crash on 9/11 I bet you would have a different attitude.
God Bless all 9/11 victims and their families and all the service men and women who protect our country.
