National Day of Prayer Observance

Approximately 727 people gathered at Birkelbach Field on the Georgetown High School campus last week for a National Day of Prayer observance.  Among those in attendance (opening photo) were Jessyka DeRemer, her 20-month-old son, Mark, and Gary DeRemer, Jessyka’s father-in-law, Mark’s grandpa.   It was a respectful observance, the 23rd year for people in the Georgetown area to offer prayers.     It’s a good observance, but I can’t help wishing it were more inclusive.    I count among my friends those who are Jewish, Muslim, and Buddhist.   Just a thought, for what it’s worth.   Maybe it’s asking too much for people to get along, regardless of their beliefs.   Still, this was a well-done and positive gathering.
