Alex mentioned at CCDA that he learned about praying for the current and past sins of the city. It came up that the Study team might be planning programs with the Knox County Historical Society? for the city and that this might be a great time to learn about the city with actions that we be God pleasing as well as sinful and this might be a good time to talk about prayer for its sins. David was to check with the study team regarding this possibility.
