Pray4TN Event Gathers Locals for Unity

On Saturday, July 11, at 10 am, people gathered in the courtroom located on the third floor of the courthouse to honor the Pray4TN event in Sparta.  As all 95 counties in Tennessee have alternated throughout July, White County participated, with many in attendance.  Among the speakers were Pastor Bryan Simmons, Pastor Steve Gerhart, Pastor Caleb Andrews, and Rev. Roger Buck.  The regional director for Pray4TN was also in attendance to commemorate the occasion. 

Pastor Caleb read the Tennessee House Joint Resolution 51, which passed in 2024, establishing the month of July as a time of prayer and fasting throughout the state.  Although there are so many various topics covered within the resolution, the following topics were covered in prayer during the event: government, families, substance abuse/recovery, and unity.  Before dismissing, the regional director gave a testimony of the impact Pray4TN is having not only in the areas she has travelled, but also in her own life.  The event wrapped up with a dismissal prayer and a special song written and performed by Lester England. 

A special thank you goes out to Mrs. Miranda Sherrell, who organized this year's event, in addition to previous events held in White County for Pray4TN.  As this is now a yearly event, many of the people of White County look forward to participating in this gathering for years to come.  For more information regarding the House Joint Resolution and other resources, visit pray4TN.us.
