On May 1, local residents gathered outside the Jefferson County Courthouse for the National Day of Prayer, organized annually by Angela Wood of Fellowship Bible Church. Participants prayed for government officials, law enforcement, and youth, embracing this year's theme from the National Day of Prayer Task Force, which emphasizes hope and positivity based on Romans 15:13. The tradition has deep historical roots, evolving from Thanksgiving celebrations into a national observance where communities join in praying for unity and strength.
