A Local Touch on the National Day of Prayer
A history of the National Day of Prayer can be found at:

Our part today was to take a group of people from College Wesleyan Church and community and pray for Francis Slocum Elementary School. This school will be the home for next year’s Kids Hope mentoring program which currently has nearly 50 adults who meet each week with students at Lincoln Elementary in Marion, IN. Pastor David Drury did a great job preparing a prayer list, Scripture, and a map of the community for us to pray around. 33 people showed up for this event and it was a great opportunity to saturate the community in prayer for children, their families, teachers and administration, local leaders, and our churches.
Each person received a small rock to hold while praying and then we left them all over the community as a reminder that the community was prayed for.
“May God transform the hearts and minds of our elementary students through the ministry of those serving in and around Francis Slocum so that this community will be transformed by the grace of God in the years to come.”
Pastor Thad
