In a powerful demonstration of community spirit and unwavering support for local education, Pleasant Grove Baptist Church of Gore and Summerville United Methodist Church have spearheaded a remarkable initiative this week, conducting a comprehensive prayer tour of every school and auxiliary site in the county.

Pastors, church members, school administrators, teachers, students, and various community leaders united to visit every corner of the educational system – from the youngest learners in Pre-K classrooms to the vital support staff in Transportation and Maintenance departments. The extensive tour included Mountain Ed, the Alternative Learning Center, Technology, and even the Central Office, ensuring no part of the county’s educational infrastructure was overlooked.

At each stop, a moment was taken to lift prayers specifically for the faculty, staff, and students who will soon fill those halls and offices for the upcoming school year. The initiative aimed to spiritually fortify the academic year, asking for guidance, well-being, and success for all who contribute to the county’s educational landscape.

This expansive prayer tour is just one facet of the ongoing commitment these two congregations have to the local student body. Pleasant Grove Baptist and Summerville United Methodist Church already collaborate year-round to provide weekend food bags, offering essential nutritional support to students who need extra help at home.

For those inspired to contribute to this vital mission, both churches eagerly welcome volunteers and financial support for their weekend food bag program. Above all, the organizers emphasize the profound importance of prayer – for every student’s needs to be met, and for each individual to feel seen, supported, and ready to thrive as the new school year commences.

The collective effort represents a heartwarming launch to the academic year, underscoring the community’s dedication to nurturing not just the minds, but also the spirits of its young people.
