Dexter, Missouri - More than 60 people attended the Prayer Walk for Dexter Public Schools on Tuesday evening.
Roxanne and Greg McGhee held the 4th Annual Prayer Walk at Southwest School parking lot.
"It's back to school time and we begin a new school year with many concerns, apprehensions, and hopes," stated Roxanne. "What better way to begin the school year than to begin in prayer?"
Her husband, Greg, serves as the youth minister at First Baptist Church in Dexter; however the Prayer Walk is open to anyone and is completely independent of any one church or Dexter Public Schools.
“Lord, we pray that you will grant our educators wisdom as they deal with an ever-changing society. Help them to remember that every effort is an opportunity to change a life, to inspire, to energize, to bring out that special gift you You have blessed to each and every one of us.”
Several walked the entire campus from Southwest Elementary all the way to Central Elementary, others drove from place to place. Several stopped at the Bearcat Event Center, High School, and Charles Bland Stadium to pray for administrators, teachers, and students.
The McGhees plan to continue this event annually. Next year will be the 5th annual Prayer Walk for Dexter Schools and hopefully the largest in attendance.
