May 2, 2024 - We regret to announce that the National Day of Prayer event, scheduled for today, Thursday, May 2, has been cancelled due to the weather. Shelby County is under flood watch and thunderstorms are likely through the noon hour.
Everyone is encouraged to take a moment today to lift up prayers for our country and for our community.
April 26, 2024 - Each year, on the first Thursday of May, in towns and cities across America, people gather for the National Day of Prayer. Here in Shelby County, we meet in front of our historic courthouse, and next Thursday, May 2, noon-12:30, we invite you to join us.
The brief, half-hour event will include our National Anthem, the Pledge of Allegiance, and prayers for America, government officials, the military, first responders, schools, churches, and families. At 12:30 (if we have at least 100 people!), we'll form a human prayer chain around the courthouse and sing Amazing Grace.
If prayer is an important part of your life, join us next Thursday, at the center of Center, for the National Day of Prayer. Call 979-533-1575 for more information.
