National Day Of Prayer Observed In Century, Atmore
May 3, 2013
From iPads and iPhones, to the tattered and torn pages of cherished family Bibles, participants in a National Day of Prayer event in Atmore read the entire Bible aloud in just 30 minutes Thursday evening.
In Atmore, the threat of rain from the heavens pushed about 300 National Day of Prayer participants from a local park into the gym at Escambia County High School. Community, business and spiritual leaders led those gathered in prayer before the annual Bible reading.
In Century, community leaders gathered in prayer, asking for God’s favor on their town, surrounding communities and the nation.
