The Nancy J. Dembowski Community Center in Knox was filled with eager community members to help pray for our nation during today’s National Day of Prayer.

This year’s theme is “Pray for America”. It’s about coming together as a nation to better ourselves and make America the best place to be. Eagle Creek Community Church Pastor Ed Hasnerl gave a message of hope and urged neighbors to lift each other up in prayer.

“Of course we need to pray for America, but before our prayers can be effective as they can be we need to examine ourselves, our lives, repent, and then God will hear our prayers and He will heal our nation,” stated Hasnerl.

The Starke County Prayer Breakfast is scheduled for Thursday morning at the Nancy J. Dembowski Community Center in Knox. Ed Hasnerl, the pastor at the Eagle Creek Community Church, is the guest speaker for the breakfast which is centered by a prayer theme for the nation.

“It lasts just an hour – it begins at 7 a.m.,” said Hasnerl. “We have breakfast, we’ll have a short program and Rich Wallen is going to be there to provide some music. We’ve got a number of pastors participating. It’s rather ecumenical. The theme is Pray for America.”

Christo’s will be catering the breakfast and $8 tickets are available at the Knox Mayor’s Office or at the door.

Ed Hasnerl will be delivering a message of hope that we can take with us in order to help move our nation in a positive direction.

“We the people have to humble ourselves and I take that as meaning repent. We have to change our lives and then we can change the country,” Hasnerl said.
