PRAYERS LIFTED DURING NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER

(05/02/2008)

National Day of Prayer was observed yesterday in Grantsville.

The theme for this year was "Prayer! America's Strength and Shield" and is based on the verse from Psalm 28:7 which states: "The Lord is my strength and shield; my heart trusts in Him and I am helped."

The Minnie Hamilton Volunteer Chaplains Association observed the 57th Annual National Day of Prayer at the courthouse.

Prayers were lifted for the leaders of our country, state, county, and city; our children and their teachers; our peace officers, those serving the military and the Veterans who have sacrificed to serve our nation.
