Group urges prayer for community servants
FORTVILLE — Each week of September, Fortville Christians Unite is publishing a prayer for a different group of community servants. The third one, a prayer for emergency responders, appears in elsewhere in today’s edition of the Daily Reporter.
Other prayers this month highlight educators (Sept. 5), law enforcement officers (Sept. 12), and medical workers (Sept. 26).
The group’s hope is that community members will take time to stop by a parking lot and pray for those working inside, either using the published prayer as a guide or voicing their own prayer.
