Longview prayer rally focuses on giving thanks

Longview — Clergy members from a variety of denominations gathered on the lawn of the Gregg County Courthouse at noon Thursday to offer prayers of thanksgiving. The Rev.

“We probably needed to do a better job of promoting this prayer rally and encouraging members of our churches to attend,” Watson said. “It was meaningful to me, as I believe it was to the other clergy members here, but it was designed to be a community event.”
