Very disturbing advertisement in a local weekly paper

This was published in a weekly rag that is distributed throughout Preston County, West Virginia every friday by the US Mail. I will quote it in its entirety:

PRESTON PRAYER

Preston Prayer is having a ladies shout down night at 7 p.m. on November 5. The place is Autherdale Heritage one route 92. The speaker will be tes Dixon, a rep. of national day of prayer for WV. The me of our group will be in Rowlesburg at the same time and date, at eh community building. This meeting is open to the public and we wil (sic) be praying for our election. The meeting in Autherdale is open to the public but ladies only. We have a duty to vote, and we also have a duty to pray for our leaders, so this is a great chance to spend time with GODs people in prayer.

The more I look at it the angrier I get. Who do these assholes think they are? What a perverted sense of religion.

Sounds like a non denominational "pray for our leaders" thing.

What backstory am I missing?

Happens all the time and though I don't agree with them I respect their right to do it.
