Thursday, May 6, is the National Day of Prayer observance. It's a day set aside each year nationwide to take a few brief moments to thank the Good Lord for all we have and to offer a prayer for future good will and well being.
This year's theme is "For Such A Time As This" taken from the Book of Nathum 1:7. Wellsville's observance will take place from 12 noon to 12:30 at the Gazebo on the 4th Street Square Thursday. First Christian Pastor Troy Warner will be the Master-of-Ceremonies. The Tri-State Burial Group will act as honor guard and present the colors. Under the direction of Mrs. Jennifer Gooch the Wellsville High School Music Department will provide the music. There will be a meaningful balloon launch to bring the ceremony to its conclusion.
Prayers will be offered by various Wellsville ministers and dignitaries. Mrs. Linda Persutti will represent Congressman Charlie Wilson. CC Commissioner Dan Bing will lead the prayer for our State Leaders. EL Municipal Court Judge Melissa Byers-Emmerling will offer a prayer for all Columbiana County leaders, judges and the Sheriff's Dept. personnel. A student from the WHS Action Club will say a prayer for all parents, teachers and fellow students.
The observance for the National Day of Prayer is non-denominational and the public is invited. It is sponsored by the Wellsville Area Ministerial Assoc. In case of rain the observance will be held at Wellsville Village Hall.
