Back to School: Blessings Shared at Dorsett Shoals Elementary

Submitted by DCSS

On Saturday, July 25th students, teachers, parents, and members of Prays Mill Baptist Church gathered at Dorsett Shoals Elementary School for the annual prayer walk. Each year local churches practice these on-site intercessions to bless the upcoming school year.

Specific prayers are asked for the students, staff members, parents, and the surrounding community. The prayer walk at Dorsett Shoals Elementary began at the front of the school building and eventually ended near the playground. Participants took turns praying for their school and community.

This voluntary act of kindness has been a back to school tradition at Dorsett Shoals as well as First Presbyterian Church of Douglasville.

The church is hosting a self-guided prayer walk on Sunday, August 2, 2015 from 5 to 7 pm on the church campus at 9190 Campbellton St, Douglasville, GA 30134.

The focus of this walk will be on our community’s schools, including students, faculty, staff, administrators, and county-wide employees. This is a drop-in, self-guided walk and will be great for families and friends of all ages. Options are available for those who are unable to walk very far and all are welcome to join.
