More than 100 people gathered outside the Bulloch County Courthouse to pray Thursday.It was the 12th annual Bulloch County observance of the National Day of Prayer, which is designated by law as the first Thursday in May.This year’s theme was “Pray for America.” Ed Neubert, the pastor of Cornerstone Church in Statesboro and the chairman of the local prayer event, began saying: “We all come here in faith this morning, knowing that there is a great division in our nation, and it is only through prayer that we can be brought back together again.”The Rev. E. Charles Lee of First African Baptist Church in Statesboro said, “This is a wonderful thing for all groups of Christians in our community to come together. Luke 12:48 states that, ‘To whom much is given, of him shall be much required.’” Lee stated that Americans have been given so much and we need to give back all that we can.
