COLUMBUS, Ind. — Sheila Davis’ heart was focused on sacrifice at Thursday evening’s annual interdenominational Bartholomew County National Day of Prayer at The Commons in downtown Columbus.
“Lord, teach us to be more like you — to put others before ourselves, and to love, care and give unselfishly to others who need to see your reflection in us,” Davis prayed before a crowd of about 80 socially-distanced people, including the masked and unmasked.
The woman, a member of Crossroads Community Church near the Bartholomew/Jennings County line, was among a team of people offering petitions around the general theme of freedom. That focus on six particular elements of freedom was linked to the day’s national Scriptural focus from 2 Corinthians 3:17: “Where the spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”
Pastor Adam Carrigan of Bethel Baptist Church in Garden City served as emcee, and early on broached the evening’s main topic.
