On the 61st annual National Day of Prayer, the Mayors Prayer Breakfast was again a huge success. Mayors from each municipality and Rutherford County government joined with community leaders at the Embassy Suites Hotel and Conference Center.
Greenhouse Ministries Director Cliff Sharp said, "Thank you for coming together this morning to pray for our community. Especially the local mayors who are leading us in a positive direction."
WGNS Radio Talk Host and local Sheriff for almost a quarter of a century Truman Jones broke the story of a severe vandalism case that eruppted on Maple Street Wednesday. The Lamp Gallery was the victim, but the city's officers had everything under control as they apprehended the culprit--a wild buck! After the laughter ended, Jones introduced retired attorney and local historian Greg Tucker, who is a regular on The Truman Show weekday afternoons at 2:00.
Tucker gave a colorful perspective on religions in Rutherford County from the days when squatters gathered in a log schoolhouse beside Murfree Spring to today.
Throughout the breakfast, individuals did prayers for local government, military, the media, business, health, education, churches, family and community leaders.
The annual event is sponsored by Greenhouse Ministries and the Rotary Clubs of Murfreesboro along with a considerable amount of coordinating by Murfreesboro Mayor Tommy Bragg and Greenhouse Ministries.
