The editor:
Thursday, May 7 is the National Day of Prayer; a day for people of the Judeo-Christian faith to seek God on behalf of our cities, state and nation. This day has been observed since the early days of our nation's history. The National Day of Prayer has been officially observed in Rowan County for the past 17 years and involves hundreds of people representing almost all of our 60-plus churches.
There are several exciting events that will be held in Morehead. Beginning Saturday, May 2 there will be a Community-Wide Youth Worship & Prayer Explosion called "Shake This City" held at Judah Christian Fellowship (522 E Main next to Mr. Gattis) for all area youth. Local worship bands will be playing.
On Thursday, May 7 there will be Noon Hour Prayer held at the Morehead Conference Center, 3 p.m. Prayer for Our Leaders held at Freedom Park on the Old Courthouse Lawn (all government leaders are invited to attend), 5:30 p.m. Prayer Walk starting at the Conference Center, 6:30 p.m. City-Wide Community Worship at the Conference Center and at 7 p.m. the 17th Annual Community Prayer Service will immediately follow the worship service at the Conference Center. For more information, please visit our new website (thanks to Pastor Jeff Fannin) www.dayofprayer.net & sign up to get involved.
Thanks!

Rowan County Coordinator

Bring better movies to Morehead
Don’t you love a good movie? We certainly do BUT for me that does not include “R” rated films. Of the seven movies advertised in the 1/20/12 issue of the News, five were rated “R.”

Abortion advocate change of mind
As the new year begins, it is quite common to see printed in a newspaper or magazine a list of the names of prominent citizens who passed away in the preceding year. I recently came across such a list, and the name of one individual in particular caught my attention: Dr. Bernard Nathanson.

Large sign is unsightly
While driving to Morehead today, I was dismayed to see that Cracker Barrel has erected one of their typical ultra-high “signs on a stick.” I somehow thought that Morehead’s sign ordinance would protect our community from this unsightliness and that the sign would be the same height as those of surrounding businesses.

Political cartoon was off the mark
I don’t know how the political cartoons you publish are chosen, but I take exception to the one in the Dec. 27, 2011 issue of the paper. The cartoonist obviously does not agree with Time magazine’s choice of The Protester as Person of the Year.
