#PrayingThursday

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."

Throughout the day, York College will post prayer requests to Facebook, Twitter, and this page. Others are invited to pray for these requests, as well as add requests of their own.
