Day Of Prayer Set For Local Law Enforcement
August 19, 2016
Church members from throughout the community are planning to meet outside the Pensacola Police Department Saturday and pray for law enforcement personnel.
The non-denominational event is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. Saturday and last for approximately one hour at police headquarters, 711 N. Hayne St.
Organizers are hoping enough people will attend the event that they will be hold hands while standing around the outside of the building. People can stay as long as they like to pray not only for local law enforcement personnel but also for others nationwide.
In addition, organizers are hoping people unable to attend the event will set aside a few minutes during the day to pray for law enforcement personnel. And, as another way of showing support, people are encouraged to pray for an officer if they see one in public either by approaching the officer and asking if they can pray for them, or by saying a private prayer.

The Prayers for our Law Enforcement Officers was great! It was a wonderful sign of unity from different churches throughout Pensacola, coming together praying for God’s protection for those who protect us. We got to speak with several attendees and made new friends. Good people!
YES! This is how things will change!!! Not only pray for the police, but for those who would break the law to change their ways. Thank you LEOs for all that you do. Please stay safe and know you have support in OUR community!
Great idea. Another suggestion is just to say “thank you” when you see an officer, or perhaps pay for a meal if you see an office in a restaurant.
