Members of the South Ripley Ministerial Association, together with members of the community, met for a time of prayer on Thursday, May 1, around the courthouse square in Versailles. Pastors, government officials, and leaders in the schools and businesses observed the National Day of Prayer, which is always held the first Thursday in May. Here, pastors have the opportunity to pray for those in seven centers of power: government, military, media, business, education, church, and family.
