President-elect Barack Obama is calling on Americans across the nation to volunteer in the January 19 Martin Luther King Day of Service. The upcoming Martin Luther King Day falls on the day before Obama’s historic inauguration. The President-elect will celebrate King Day along with Vice-President Joe Biden and their families by volunteering in a service project in Washington, D.C. and will be calling on all Americans to join him in ongoing active citzenship. “I will ask for your service and your active citizenship when I am president of the United States,” Obama said.

At the same time, another group is calling upon all of us to come together for a different reason

Quote:
Please e-mail your Christian friends and relatives and let them know that the Lord Jesus has commanded that January 19, 2009 be recognized throughout the world as a Day of Atonement.
Gather at noon on that day and drop to your knees(wherever you may be) to beseech the Lord to spare the country He so loved, but allowed to kill itself. January 19, 2009 will be the last day that America will exist under godly rule. After that day, we will be under the thrall of Satan. Heaven help us!

Personally, I'd like to know how Lord Jesus issued this command. Was it a burning bush or a text message?
So how are YOU planning to spend January 19th?
