On December 1, York College is asking everyone to join in prayer for the first annual #PrayingThursday. Piggy-backing on all the special 'days' of shopping and giving in the week after Thanksgiving, York College is soliciting prayers on behalf of students and the school for this one-day event.

​"It's not a national holiday, but we think it should be," said Brent Magner, vice president of advancement. "While this is the first time we've promoted #PrayingThursday at YC, prayer is certainly not new to our campus. York College is here today because of a long history of prayers - for resources to open and reopen, for God to sustain the school year-to-year, for growth and greater service, for the people who have given their lives in service to our students, for the students who prepare for life while here -- and for their future and the impact they'll have on a lot of lives once they leave York."
