Liberty County residents are invited to unite in prayer and reflection during two local observances for the National Day of Prayer on Thursday, May 1. Both events will begin at noon, offering an opportunity for community members to come together in faith.
In Liberty, the gathering will take place on the east side steps of the Liberty County Courthouse. Clergy from across the county will lead prayers for the nation, local leadership, and the community. Judge Jay Knight is expected to attend and take part in the event.
The Liberty High School Choir, under the direction of Christie Bean, will provide music during the ceremony. A limited number of chairs will be available, but attendees are encouraged to bring their own seating for comfort.
