National Day Of Prayer Observed (With Photos From Century, Atmore)

May 6, 2011

The National Day of Prayer was observed across the area Thursday.

In Atmore, churches and the faithful from across the Atmore and North Escambia region gathered at an Atmore park for a prayer service. Following prayers for the community, leaders, businesses, government, the media and others, the entire Bible was read in 30 minutes with each of about 200 people reading a different portion of scripture out loud.

In Century, community leaders gathered to prayer for their community, business and government.

Similar services were held in Pace, Pensacola, Brewton and Molino.
