THE USA REVIVAL - A Day of Thanksgiving for Our State and Nation

Jackson, Ms. (November 9, 2007) -- A very special Thanksgiving program has been planned for Tuesday, November 20, 2007, at the MISSISSIPPI AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY MUSEUM on Lakeland Drive in Jackson. The gates will open at 3:30 pm and the service begins at 5:00 pm. Admission is FREE!

"This event is simply people coming together to give thanks to God for our state, our country, our governmental leaders and the Blessings which God has poured over our land," Paul Ott, organizer and host of the event, said. “There is no commercialism in this event, and almost everything has been donated by individuals sharing a desire to peacefully assemble and recognize that we are a great nation dependent on great leaders and an even greater God," Ott continued. "The Bible gives us instruction to "give thanks to the Lord, for He is good". That is the essence of this event."

Those who have committed to come speak and pray and are on the agenda are: Dr. John Cameron (Greater Mt. Calvary Baptist Church), Rev. Larry LeBlanc (Sr. Pastor of FBC Summit Mississippi), Tom Lester (from Green Acres television show), Paul Ott (Listen to the Eagle), Dr. Dolphus Weary (Mission Mississippi), Dr. Jerry Young (President, Mississippi Baptist Convention and 1ST Vice-President of the National Baptist Convention), and a great handful of talented musicians to perform, including award winning members of the Greater Mt. Calvary Church Choir, part of the Mississippi Mass Choir. Shuttle transportation will be provided from the parking lots to the staging area for those who need special assistance. Attendees are asked to bring lawn chairs and/or blankets. In the event of bad weather, the event will be moved inside the Ag Museum Auditorium. Special seating will be available for those attending with special needs.

There will be representatives from ALL Christian denominations present at the event and the closing ceremony will include a candlelight prayer, while master violinist Mickey Davis, formally of the Mississippi Symphony Orchestra, plays “Nearer My God To Thee.” ALL participants and attendees will then join in a rousing chorus of GOD BLESS AMERICA!
