00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:13.759
Good morning, good morning, good
morning, and welcome, welcome, welcome.

2
00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:17.519
It's time now for our community connection
right here on K one, the

3
00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:22.120
one you chrust, and we are
going to have a very special event coming

4
00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:26.320
up this week. It's see seventy
third Annual National Day of Prayer. Dorry

5
00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:29.160
Potter is with us. Tell us
a little bit about what's going on.

6
00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:31.719
Is like a lot of praying,
a lot of praying. Yes, this

7
00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:36.320
is an annual event. It's actually
a national event as well. There'll be

8
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:41.479
a lot of different National Day of
Prayer services and Prayer meetings throughout the country.

9
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:46.280
I'm trying to think of the year
seventy three years the country has been

10
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:49.799
doing the National Day of Prayer officially. We've been praying for a long time

11
00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:56.439
before that of years. But here
in Bartlesville we have an internenominational committee that

12
00:00:56.759 --> 00:01:00.200
puts together the event every year that
we just have a pro service that we

13
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:04.599
can come together from all different churches
and come together as a community and pray

14
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:10.159
for our community in a lot of
different ways. And so it really is

15
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:14.840
a special time. There's no cost, there's no reservations. Just come and

16
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:19.840
it's actually tomorrow night. It's Thursday
at six point thirty at Heart Matters.

17
00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:25.640
Heart Matters is known as the former
Canteen building or the former Mutual Girls Club.

18
00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:30.480
It's on Price Road right by the
fire station there, and so we

19
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:34.400
invite you to come parking back,
walk in the back entrance and join us

20
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:38.359
for praise and worship at six thirty. The prayer time actually starts at seven,

21
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:42.959
and we'll again have some community leaders
that are leading us in several different

22
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:46.719
divisions of prayer. The praise and
worship is going to be led by First

23
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:51.400
Wesleyan Churches Praise and Worship Team.
Every year we have a different team that

24
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:56.000
leads us in that and we appreciate
they're volunteering to do that for it this

25
00:01:56.159 --> 00:02:00.519
year. And then at seven o'clock
we'll have a welcome and a a prayer

26
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:05.079
by Penny Meadows, who is the
director of Heart Matters and so we appreciate

27
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:07.879
being there and she will open us
up. We'll have the Pledge of Allegiance

28
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:12.840
to the Flag that's led by the
Ramona American Legion. We'll have a prayer

29
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:17.520
of repentance that's led by Rando and
Shiloh Gamble from Get Real Ministries. Family

30
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:23.039
will be prayed over by Quinn and
Becky Shipper. The military will be prayed

31
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:29.120
over by Ramone and Cheryl Barboa.
Churches will be prayed by Dwight Shipman,

32
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:34.840
and then Mike and Paula Dunlap will
pray about the workplace and businesses and that

33
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:38.719
type of thing. Kevin and Kerry
Aickleberry will be praying for education. Carrie

34
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:43.840
works in the educational system here and
so we appreciate them leading out on that.

35
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:49.240
Government will be prayed over by Roger
and Donnas Skelly. Art, Media

36
00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:53.599
and entertainment we prayed by Jony Elmore, and then our National Day of Prayer

37
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:58.199
every year there's a different prayer that's
written specifically for the Times. And deb

38
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:01.639
Cook, who I actually co chair
this committee with and I thought she was

39
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:06.000
maybe going to be here today but
maybe something came up for but she will

40
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:07.840
be leading us in the National Day
of Prayer. Reading that we do.

41
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:14.599
We'll sing God Bless America as a
congregation and that'll be led by Penny Meadows,

42
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:17.719
and then our closing prayer will be
Father John O'Neill from Saint John's Catholic

43
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:23.240
Church, Saint John before the Latin
Gate, and so again a variety of

44
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:29.719
community members who will come together,
both clergy and lay people to pray for

45
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:31.919
our community, pray for our nation
and the different needs that we have.

46
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:38.439
So it's very simple to explain.
It doesn't take a lot, but it's

47
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:42.400
something that's very important and we truly
believe in. Invite everybody to come,

48
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:45.960
bring your families, you know,
children are welcome to come as well as

49
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:51.039
adults, and just make it a
special prayer time. You know, a

50
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:53.960
nation, a world, and even
a block on where you live. Ever

51
00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:59.479
needed a prayer today? Exactly,
exactly. There's just so much going on

52
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:05.960
in different things trying to divide us. I think this is probably the best

53
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:10.199
solution I can think of right now
at this point in time. Well,

54
00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:14.240
and it's start to get things going
and we we appreciate getting getting to do

55
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:18.120
it. And what Every year there
is a national theme that the National Committee,

56
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:21.319
there's a national task force that you
know, puts together a theme every

57
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:27.879
year and does some materials for it
so people are unified and the same type

58
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:30.560
of thing. And the theme this
year is on tewod Samuel twenty two,

59
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:33.360
twenty nine to thirty one, and
it's lift up the word, Light up

60
00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:38.279
the world, So you know as
we lift up his word, as we

61
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:42.879
focus on him, the world will
be a much brighter place. Boy,

62
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:46.600
I tend to agree we need that's
like this the lightest not darkness. Light

63
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:50.720
he is. He has a God
of light. So that's that's kind of

64
00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:55.879
the scoop on it. It's it's
very simple National Day of Prayer celebration.

65
00:04:56.079 --> 00:05:00.319
Everybody is invited to come and again
six thirty for praise and worship. Seven

66
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:03.279
o'clock is the prayer time. We're
usually done seven forty five ish, you

67
00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:06.439
know, something like that too.
So yeah, just come, bring your

68
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:11.160
friends, invite somebody to come with
you, and just make it a special

69
00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:15.519
time together. How long have we
been doing this locally out at Heart Matters.

70
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:19.839
We've been to Heart Matters now maybe
like I want to say, three

71
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:24.319
or four years, you know,
maybe something like this too. You know,

72
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:27.800
I've been on this committee now for
twenty five years here in Bartlesville,

73
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:30.199
ever since I moved to town with
maybe twenty six or seven years. And

74
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:33.000
we've done it in a lot of
different fashions. You know. Before you

75
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:36.399
got here too, we've been at
the Community Center during COVID, we were

76
00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:40.800
outside at Unity Square, we were
blessed to have that facility so we could

77
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:43.439
be outside and still have it,
you know, and we couldn't really meet

78
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:47.199
inside at that time. And we've
done things at the park. We've had

79
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:54.560
prayer walks, We've had rallies where
we had like emergency vehicles and kind of

80
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:58.600
some of our first responders kind of
all get together and we had them.

81
00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:00.839
And then we also had a time
too, So we've done it in several

82
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:04.959
different ways. We've had it at
noontime downtown we'll be easy for people to

83
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:09.040
come to. We've done it in
the evening that way. You know,

84
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:12.079
I just tried to find when was
kind of the best time for the community

85
00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:15.399
to come together, and we really
have come to the conclusion that the evening

86
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:18.000
is probably a little bit easier for
people to be able to do that.

87
00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:23.199
So that's why, you know,
we do that. A lot of churches

88
00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:25.000
have said, you know, hey, come and you can do it at

89
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:28.720
our church, but we stay away
from that because we do want it to

90
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:32.000
be inter denominational. We don't want
people to think that it's just one church

91
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:35.839
that's that's putting this on. We
appreciate all the churches coming together and praying

92
00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:43.360
together for our community. So we
try to find a location that is affordable

93
00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:46.279
as in free for us to come
because we don't have a budget for this.

94
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:51.680
This is just a committee that comes
together, but also a place that

95
00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:56.839
you know, people will feel welcome
to come and pray and kind of a

96
00:06:57.040 --> 00:07:00.399
welcoming environment for a prayer that not
going to get a lot of interruptions and

97
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:05.519
things like that. It is it
is heart matters. Our whole goal is

98
00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:14.920
really to uh to expose Internet issues
and pornography and how trafficking and things like

99
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:17.720
that can come over the Internet and
all and and with all a christ centered

100
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:25.560
basis to it as well, because
that's again the answer. I might just

101
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:30.240
take a minute here to talk about
Bars Relays Connection if I've got a couple

102
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:34.240
of seconds here. Barrs Relays Connection. A week from tomorrow. A week

103
00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:40.279
from Thursday, we'll have our annual
expo. And our expo is the time

104
00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:45.120
where we come in the evening and
feature women's businesses and so we're going to

105
00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:46.920
be actually at the fair grounds this
year in Dewey. We've never done it

106
00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:50.319
at the Fairgrounds and Dewey, but
but we're doing it there. They they're

107
00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:53.959
trying to get the rift done and
the ceiling done in time for us to

108
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:57.079
be there, but we are,
We are going to be there, and

109
00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:00.879
it's a week from Thursday, like
I said, and from five thirty to

110
00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:03.639
six thirty they'll be browsing of booths. It's a women's business expo, and

111
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:09.360
so women's businesses. We usually have
twenty five to thirty women's businesses that set

112
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:11.360
up booths, so we're browser booths
from five thirty six, do you a

113
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:16.519
little shopping, a little visiting,
you know that type of thing. And

114
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:18.680
then at six point thirty we'll have
our dinner which is catered by Sterlings,

115
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:24.519
and then our program. Our speaker
who was coming from Kansas City. Her

116
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:28.199
name's Karen blanket Ship and she's been
here before as a little different talk.

117
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:31.759
This time, she's going to talk
about journaling and how journaling can really help

118
00:08:31.799 --> 00:08:37.919
you in organizing your life and your
thoughts and recalling things and focusing at things

119
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:41.080
and all and just of course it's
going to be christ centered as well too,

120
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:45.600
that what she does. So anyway, we encourage anybody who would like

121
00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:48.399
to come to the Women's Business Expo. We might still have room for you

122
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:52.200
if you'd like to have If you're
a woman who has a business and like

123
00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:54.840
to have a booth, go ahead
and give me a call here at the

124
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:56.879
office and I'll get you in touch
with how to have a booth. But

125
00:08:56.960 --> 00:09:01.399
we do need reservations too, because
it's costs and things like this. So

126
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:05.399
we have to have exact numbers for
our catering, and it is sixteen dollars

127
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:09.879
a person for the food and for
the program, and so anyway that we

128
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:13.000
need to have the reservations by Tuesday
at noon. So again, if you

129
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:16.279
call me here at the station,
I can help you know how to get

130
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:18.279
your reservations for that. But it's
a great time. We have a lot

131
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:22.159
of fun. Bring some of your
girlfriends, make it a great girl's night
