The National Day of Prayer event was celebrated with great fanfare here at Hermitage!
On the first Thursday in May of every year, the National Day of Prayer is celebrated in many diverse venues all across the country. The Signature Home Office in Louisville, KY celebrated it in 2012 with by hosting a Prayer event with 11 different faiths all praying together on one stage for compassion.
Donelson celebrated the event in fine style. In the words of Chaplain Linda Haddix:
Earlier in the week, we collected prayer requests from our residents. We then attached them to the streamers of the balloons. After gathering our residents in our Gallery Dining Room, we gave each
of our residents a balloon. First, Jenny Barrowclough, HR director, shared the background history of National Day of Prayer. Peggy, one of our residents, sang “Mansion on a Hilltop”–to everyone’s surprise and delight. Hattie Potts, one of our board members, prayed for the City of Owensboro. All of the residents and staff recited the prayer written for the National Day of Prayer. Then I prayed for the Hermitage staff and residents. We ended with our residents going outdoors and releasing their balloons to heaven, symbolic of our prayers ascending to heaven! It was quite a success and residents enjoyed their part of the ceremony.
