On a gorgeous spring day – May 6 – many of the citizens of Waxahachie gathered at noon to pay homage to America’s “National Day of Prayer” at the downtown Railyard Park. This annual occurrence celebrated its 70th year (1952-2021).
The 2021 festivities were titled “Lord – Pour Out Your Love, Life, and Liberty”.
Farley Street Baptist Church Pastor Richard W. Smith gave the welcome, followed with a reciting of the Pledge of Allegiance and “The Star Spangled Banner,” as sung by Jaime Feaster.
Ellis County Judge Todd Little led the prayer for government, while 378th District Judge William Wallace led the prayer for the military and police.
