Community prayer meeting set for Friday
Rockdale and Milam County churches, residents and leaders will host a community prayer circle Friday at Tiger Field.
Pastor Royal Johnson is leading the community goodwill initiative that begins at 5:30 p.m.
“We’re going to fill the stadium with prayer,” Johnson said. “We have no goals for the number of people to attend. I’d rather have three people who are sincere in their faith than 4,000 who just want to show up.”
Johnson hopes the prayers will inspire and support leaders of the community and future leaders into guiding Milam County to social and economic prosperity.
