Churches Join Together for Back to School Prayer Walk

BY MELANIE BUCK –

A Prayer Walk is being hosted this Sunday by churches to bless local schools and the students that attend them. Everyone is invited to participate in the Prayer Walk from 3 p.m. – 5 p.m. on Sunday, August 14^th, at schools in Mena and Acorn. This project is headed up by Mena First United Methodist Church who started the concept last year.

This year, there are 16 churches participating and everyone is encouraged to attend. Mena and Acorn Schools will be open so that prayer warriors can walk the halls, sidewalks, parking lots, and play areas to pray for everything that will take place in the new school year.

Other churches involved this year include: Dallas Avenue Baptist Church, Mena First Baptist Church, Mena First Presbyterian Church, The Crossing, Mountain View United Methodist Church, St. Agnes Catholic Church, Mena First Assembly of God, Mena Church of God, Cherry Hill United Methodist Church, Mena First Church of the Nazarene, Christ Community Fellowship, Christ Episcopal Church, Concord Baptist Church, Bethel Baptist Church of New Potter, and Mena First Christian Church.

For any questions, contact any of the churches listed above.
