Community prayer hosted in Pittsburg

Sunday evening, Nov. 22, approximately a dozen people from various denominations and faith traditions gathered together on the courthouse lawn to offer prayers for our community and our country. This was the second spontaneous, nonpartisan, non-denominational gathering in as many months. All community members concerned about the divisions and disunity in our country are welcome to these gatherings which are a prayerful focus on what can bring us together as children of one loving and just God. Despite the increasingly cooler weather, Rev. Patrick Lloyd smilingly remarked that if we can come out for football games, we can come out to pray for our community and our country. Plans for another gathering in December are still being discussed.
