From: Orange
County Sheriff’s Office
February 2, 2009
Dear Pastor / Minister,
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office
Chaplain Services Section is asking for your assistance and
participation in an event that will unite law enforcement,
places of worship and the community in making a difference in
our neighborhoods particularly when crime is affecting us all.
The event
“Operation
Deliverance III,” consists of area churches and
ministries volunteering at least one hour to pray in a
designated area for forty straight days without interruption.
For this event we have partnered
with the
Blanchard Park YMCA located on Rouse Rd. The times will be
6:30-7:30 pm (Mon-Fri) and 2:30- 3:30 pm on Saturday and
Sunday. All we ask is that you select a day between the dates
of February 23- April 3, 2009.
There is no doubt that prayer is a
strong tool to reach peace, hope and harmony. Doctors encourage
patients and relatives to use prayer as part of the healing
process for their patients. Our nation and communities are
suffering some very tough times with the economy, families are
losing their homes, their jobs and there are lot’s of
uncertainty of what the future will hold. We too could use
prayer as a tool to bring peace, harmony, hope and the end of
violence in our communities.
This is a prayer event, music
instruments are welcomed but not loud speakers or megaphones.
You are encouraged to bring church bulletins or brochures to
hand out. Through you we want to invite others to pray for the
community and get involved. This event has been conducted in
other parts of Orange County and the City of Orlando and it has
been very successful.
Please consider our request to
host one of the days of prayer by gathering members of your
congregation for at least one hour at the mentioned location.
Remember you select the date. The only thing we ask is that you
be there for at least one hour and that a day is not missed.
Please
contact me to schedule your congregation by calling 407-254-7119
or email me at
Miguel.pagan@ocfl.net.
Your cooperation is vital. Please
join us in this effort in making a difference in our community
and ending violence once and for all.
Sincerely,
Jerry L. Demings
Orange County Sheriff
Captain Miguel A.

Chaplain Services
Section Commander
