By Editor | April 26, 2012 |

A series of daily prayer events, beginning this Sunday, will lead up to a breakfast on Thursday to observe the National Day of Prayer in Vandalia
The community kickoff for the five-day event is Sunday night at First Baptist Church. That service, which begins at 6:15 p.m., includes worship, a brief message and a time of prayer.
On the following three days, a brief time of prayer will be held at various locations around Vandalia. All of those events will run from 7:45-8 a.m. The locations are:
• Monday – Vandalia Chamber of Commerce building.
• Tuesday – Vandalia Community High School gym.
• Wednesday – Fayette County Courthouse.
The week's activities culminate with the National Day of Prayer breakfast on Thursday, which will be held from 7-8 a.m. at Crawford-Hale American Legion Home.
Tickets are $5, and can be purchased at the door or from several area churches.
Speaker for this year's breakfast will be the Rev. Doug Newton of Greenville Free Methodist Church.
