Ellis County Ministerial Alliance has arranged for many Ellis County churches to be open from noon to 1 p.m. (or longer) Wednesday for those who would like to pray for our community.

Area churches will toll their bells as we unite in prayer. At 12:15 p.m., for those who can’t be there, if you can stop what you're doing and join in a moment of prayer or silence as we unite our hearts and thoughts for our community and friends and families who are suffering so deeply.
