Group urges prayer for community servants
FORTVILLE — Each week of September, Fortville Christians Unite has been publishing a prayer for a different group of community servants. The fourth one, a prayer for medical workers, appears in elsewhere in today’s edition of the Daily Reporter.
Other prayers this month have highlighted educators (Sept. 5), law enforcement officers (Sept. 12) and emergency responders (Sept. 19).
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.
