A group of Hanoverians observed the 57th annual National Day of Prayer by meeting at the site of the historic Polegreen Church last Thursday evening.

A group of Hanoverians observed the 57th annual National Day of Prayer by meeting at the site of the historic Polegreen Church last Thursday evening.

Layman Elwood Earl “Sandy” Sanders of the Hanover Church of the Nazarene helped organize the event, said Community Life pastor Joyce Grambo.

Sanders said he e-mailed Del. Chris Peace, executive director of the Historic Polegreen Church Foundation, who readily agreed to use of the site.

Church members set up six stations for visitors, to pray for government on the federal, state and local levels, along with stations for praying for members of the military, revival and church unity.

“We can use all the help we can get,” observed Chickahominy supervisor Robert Setliff.

Brad Norwood, brother of lead pastor Greg Norwood, said the site was appropriate for the observance.

“The foundations of religious liberty began right here at Polegreen Church,” said Norwood.

Visitors then dispersed, visiting the six stations to pray silently or aloud.

Sanders and Peace said the program might well become an annual event at the historic site.
