Mayor Malik D. Evans joined with County Executive Adam Bello, Bishop David Singleton, Clergy, and members of various houses of worship today in recognition and celebration of the National Day of Prayer.
"The National Day of Prayer is a time for us to dismantle all barriers and embrace each other beyond denomination, or religion, but through love, kindness, and the acceptance of the diversity of humankind," said Mayor Evans. "We shall celebrate our differences as we pray for peace and prosperity for our city, our nation, and all of humanity."
"We know that our faith does more to unite us than divide us," said County Executive Bello. "The National Day of Prayer is a time for our communities of faith to come together to uplift our community with hope and renewed energy."
"The National Day of prayer is important for multiple reasons, the chief of which is because God instructs us to pray," said Bishop Singleton, organizer of the event. "We have the privilege of praying as a nation. In recent times, the need has grown for prayer in every place across our community and this great nation. We welcome all faiths to join us in this God-honoring and purposeful gathering."
