Texoma unites for moment of prayer, reflection
Herald Democrat
Residents across Texoma gathered for a moment of reflection, peace and prayer Thursday as area churches and communities recognized the National Day of Prayer. The annual event encourages all followers of all faiths across the country to come together in prayer for the community and country as a whole.
This year's celebrations included multiple smaller gatherings of followers due to public health concerns and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Sherman also held a group prayer meeting Thursday at the Grayson County Courthouse.
"It is a 70 year tradition that we are continuing that is for all people of all faiths in America to lift up their thoughts in prayer and ask God to bless our nation and help us be the people we need to be," Parkside Baptist Church Pastor Jeff Humphrey said.
