AUBURN â âThis is Godâs event,â said Erma Casselman, county coordinator of the 30th annual DeKalb County prayer rally Thursday at the Kruse Plaza south of Auburn.
âItâs so good to get together in prayer again,â she said. Last yearâs event was canceled due to the pandemic. âWeâve had a tough year, but God is on the throne and He loves to hear from His people.â
The rally celebrated the theme, âLove, Life and Liberty,â drawing from II Corinthians 3:17 that reads: âNow the Lord is the Spirit, and where is the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty.â
