The 65th annual National Day of Prayer is today, and several activities are planned in our area. 

A service will be held at the Graves  County Courthouse beginning at  noon. The service will end no later than 12:40 pm, so those with jobs can get back to work. There will be music, scripture, and prayer as part of the service. For more information, contact  Joe Hansen, pastor of Mayfield First United Methodist Church and Trinity United  Methodist Church.

Three prayer observances will be held in Massac County from 12:20 - 12:40 pm. The prayer meetings will be on the lawn of the Massac County Courthouse in Metropolis, at Brookport City Hall and at Joppa City Hall. Everyone is welcome to attend.

Calloway County's observance will be at 7:00 tonight at the Robert O. Miller Conference Center in Downtown Murray.

The lawn of the Marshall County Courthouse will be the site of  the event today at noon in Benton.

There are also gatherings at the Dolly McNutt Plaza in Paducah at noon and 5:00pm

The National Day of Prayer Task Force set the theme for this year's event, which is "Wake Up America," emphasizing the need for individuals, corporately and individually, to return to the God of our Fathers in reverence for His Holy Name. The key verse is from an Old Testament prophet, Isaiah, who said in Isaiah 58:1, "Shout aloud, do not hold back, raise your voice like a trumpet."
