Pastor to organize prayer meeting  

March 30, 2010

   Today, with another water shortage looming, the pastor of Calvary Fellowship Lower Klamath is organizing another such meeting.

   Healing process

   “There’s nothing wrong with airing a frustration,” he said. “I believe that is part of the healing process in any context.”

   The event will be at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at the Merrill City Hall recreation hall.  

   Aguiar said the church has organized similar events for those facing difficult times, such as the death of a family member. He said he anticipated singing and discussion and prayer.

   Risk involved

   Aguiar said he acknowledged the risk of holding a meeting about water, especially when many are upset at the government for the water shortage facing the region.

   “It’s a loss,” he said. “People may go out of business. I have 12 acres that may go without water.”

   Aguiar said while the meeting is meant to be a place for people to air frustration, organizers will not allow shouting, yelling or verbal attacks on government officials.

   “ We’re not there to argue,” he said. “We’re not there to bash the government.”
