Prayer and Fasting | Dr. Levendusky
Tuesday, November 3, 2020 - Election Day
For this special day of prayer and fasting, I would like to meet with the different departments, staff, participants, and volunteers at the following times and locations. For families in our community, I encourage you to personally make time to pray and join with us from your homes and with your children.
We have the elections taking place for America, COVID-19 and other health issues many people are facing, and the need for God’s people to continue turning to the Lord through prayer and humbling of ourselves.
Please join me at the following times and locations:
8 a.m. Facilities (Annex meeting room)
10 a.m. Administration building staff (3rd floor board room)
12 noon ALERT and Battalion
2 p.m. Operations Department (Faculty Dining Room)
4 p.m. Oak Brook staff (Zoom call from meeting room in PC)
If you are unable to join together at these times with me and with others from your departments, please make time to pray for the various situations and needs that God lays on your hearts for this special day of prayer and fasting on Tuesday, November 3, 2020.

| Hunting Season
All hunters should check with Maj. Horsman for deer tags and instructions. |
| Leadership Corner | Maj. Boulden
Another week for us to work with each other and by extension opportunity to miss each other. Disagreements among people who mean well usually begin with "that's not what I meant!" You meant to say something or agree to something, but the “other side” didn’t hear it that way. Forward motion is possible if we can extend the sentence to, “That’s not what I meant, but that must be what you heard, how do we fix this? Will you help me make things right again?” If we can agree on intent, it’s a lot easier to figure out how to move forward.
