National Day of Prayer brings together the faithful inside the Logan County Courthouse

 

[May 07, 2022] 

Thursday, May 5th, was the 71st annual National Day of Prayer. In Lincoln several people met in the rotunda of the Logan County Courthouse at noon to pray for our country, our national, statewide and local leaders, as well as other topics of concern.

This year's theme was "Who has established us," with scripture text from Colossians 2:6-7.

The rain outside did not dampen the zeal and passion of those inside the courthouse. The sound of prayers rising from the rotunda was moving and a sacred dedication to a Holy God.

Ken Benham from Jefferson Street Church led in the welcome and gave instructions as to how the program would work. Several pastors led in prayer for different things.

The Christian Village Chaplain and pastor from Broadwell Christian Church, Ryan Edgecomb asked all to join him in reading the National Prayer for the day.

Tony Shuff of Living Water Church in Springfield led in prayer for the government and military.

From Jefferson Street Christian Church, Michael Mallick prayed for the media and popular culture.

From Open Arms Christian Fellowship, Larry Crawford led prayers for business and the economy.

Ron Otto from Lincoln Christian Church prayed for schools and education.

Ray Pepple from First Baptist Church led in prayers for our churches and families.

Ethan Frontone from Jefferson Street Church led the group a capella in singing "God Bless America"
