National Day of Prayer team makes plans The Fayette County National Day of Prayer Team met recently to formulate plans for this year's events. Meeting in Fayetteville, the team is composed of area ministers and laypersons throughout the county. This year's National Day of Prayer will be May 2, with the theme "America United Under God." Its purpose is to bring together churches and individuals throughout the county and nation to pray for elected and appointed officials and the nation as a whole. Event chairman, Hugh Kirby, explained, "This is an important event and we encourage everyone to participate. This is a great opportunity for area churches to unite and pray for our public officials throughout Fayette County and our nation. With the recent events in New York, this timely event will also allow us to join with our fellow Americans to show that America is truly 'United Under God.'" |
