Community Prayer Service to Tackle Life's Seasons
From the Feb 24, 2026 e-EditionMcKENZIE — Scheduled for March 1, McKenzie's second Community Prayer Service will emphasize God's love through all seasons of life — seasons of joy, seasons of waiting and seasons of struggle.
Event organizer Carlton Townes said he built this event around God's faith and trustful encouragement throughout every season someone may encounter.
This Community Prayer Service features a panel of guests who will speak about their testimonies, sharing stories about the seasons they've endured and the ways God helped them through their struggles.
As with the Community Prayer Service held in October 2025 at McKenzie's downtown Veteran's Park, this service will feature speakers from several local churches and faith-based organizations. Jacob Ervin will lead praise and worship.
The Community Prayer Service begins at 4:30 p.m. Sunday, March 1 at the McKenzie Park Theatre. Guests of all ages, hometowns and seasons are invited to attend.
