Beckley, WV – Volunteers and local church representatives are coming together to offer Beckley’s National
Day of Prayer 2023 on Thursday, May 4, at the Word Park gazebo. Church representatives,
readers, and singers are scheduled approximately every 15 minutes between 7:00 am and 7:00
pm.
During the 15-minute time spots, participants normally read Bible scriptures, and they may
offer a prayer, and/or an optional song (a portable sound system will be set up at the gazebo).
Hebrews’ food/drink truck will set up from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm near the gazebo offering food
and drinks for sale. Residents are invited to stop by for lunch and fellowship during the event.
Last year, 26 churches attended to participate. The organizers are expecting more than 40
participants this year. Beckley’s Day of Prayer event was started by Sherrie Hunter in 2011 and
has been coordinated by her along with a few other volunteers every year since (except 2020
and 2021 due to Covid).
The tentative schedule is below If interested
