Michael and Chequella Walker extend a heartfelt invitation to the residents of Minden and the surrounding area to attend the 8th annual Prayer In The Park event in Academy Park at 9 AM on August 12. The occasion aims to bring the community together to offer prayers for various aspects vital to the well-being of the city, including students going back to school, law enforcement, city government, first responders, and the community as a whole.
The prayer service will be led by two esteemed community leaders – Doug Gregg of Calvary Baptist Church and Marandalous Holland of Saint James Baptist Church. Their involvement underscores the interfaith nature of the gathering, emphasizing the importance of inclusivity and mutual respect.
One of the essential aspects to be discussed during the event will be the parent/teacher relationship in the context of education. Oreata Banks from the Webster Parish School District will be leading this discussion, offering valuable insights and fostering constructive dialogue between parents, teachers, and the community at large.
Walmart #87 has generously stepped forward to contribute to the event by providing refreshments for attendees..
The theme, “A community that prays together, grows together,” captures the essence of this gathering. In times of challenges and uncertainties, such an event can serve as a beacon of hope, a reminder of the strength that emerges when a community unites in prayer and support. The Walkers aspire to see a large gathering of people from diverse backgrounds joining hands in unity and harmony, fostering a sense of togetherness.
This event provides a opportunity for individuals from all walks of life to come together and set aside their differences, emphasizing the bonds that unite them as members of the same community. All attendees are encouraged to bring their families, friends, and neighbors, spreading the spirit of togetherness and hope that has come to define Prayer In The Park.
