Alexandria Community Joins in Prayer on Public Square

Members of the Alexandria community joined churches and merchants on the public square Tuesday evening in a prayer service for our police, schools, community, and nation. The event drew a large crowd of concerned individuals.
Dusty Desimone of the West Main Baptist Church moderated the program, delivered a brief message, and offered prayers.
Other local ministers participating in leading prayers were Jimmy Arms of the Upper Helton Baptist Church; David Revelle of Shepherds Fortress Ministries; Ronnie Smith of the New Hope Baptist Church; Thurman Seiber of the Salem Baptist Association; and Josh Brown of Salem Baptist Church.
The program began with a recorded performance of the National Anthem followed by the audience singing along with a recorded rendition of Amazing Grace. After the message and prayers by the ministers, the crowd joined in singing with a recorded version of God Bless the USA.
