Pastoral Prayers In Public Places
$14.99Add to cartPart of pastor’s role in the community is to pray publicly. The pastor is often the offical “pray-er” at all kinds of community events – the high school football game, the opening of the new grocery store, the county shcool board meeting, kindergarten graduation – to name a few.
