National Day of Prayer 2017
On May 4, 2017, The Hope Centered hosted the National Day of Prayer in accordance with the nationwide observance. It stands as a call for us to humbly come before God, seeking His guidance for our leaders and His grace upon us as a people.
This special time of fellowship and prayer featured keynote speaker, Neal Jeffrey, Associate Pastor at Prestonwood Baptist Church, and other leaders from the community, including Miss Texas 2016 Caroline Carothers, United States Air Force Veteran Chris Wolff, The MOAT blog founder Kay Wyma, Collin County Commissioner Susan Fletcher, TV and news personality Brenda Teele, and Barry Johnson with George Belcher Evans & Wilmer.
Many thanks to our sponsors: WAY-FM, Gerry Hughes with Thrivent Financial, Veritas General Contractors, LLC, and The Spice of Life Catering. Thank you also to Sarah Salcedo for providing the photography.
