Community members gathered in prayer on the courthouse lawn at noon Thursday, May 2, for National Prayer Day. Together they held hands while each person one by one joined in prayer. On the front lawn, prayers were included for community, veterans, schools, children, nation and political leaders. The overwhelming message of the day was the importance of this meeting, no matter which belief system, that everyone can join as a community in prayer.
