The Bleckley County School Back to School Prayer Walk

The Annual Back to School Prayer Walk for the Bleckley County Schools will be held Sunday evening, August 9th at 6pm at each of our local schools.  The Back to School Prayer Walk is sponsored by the Bleckley Christian Learning Center.

            Amid the COVID-19 concerns, there will be no opening program and the school buildings will not be open to visitors, as has been the case for prayer walks in the past.   You may walk around the perimeter of the school buildings while observing social distancing guidelines.  Masks are suggested but not required.  You may choose to sit in your car in the parking lot instead of walking.

A prayer guide specific to each school listing teachers, administration, transportation staff, nutrition staff for that school will be distributed by a BCLC board member at the entrance to the parking areas.   They are also provided to local churches.  You may keep these prayer guides to pray for our students and school system employees throughout the year.  Please join us as we pray for the safety and the success of the new school year. 

Please continue to pray for the Bleckley Christian Learning Center  this year, that it will be right on God's course and that we will see an even greater harvest than before.

Bleckley Christian Learning Center sponsored a Community Wide Hymn Sing in connection with the 150th Celebration of the founding of our city.  Guest pianist was Jeff Cleghorn and guest conductor was Duane Fernandez, First Baptist Church Traditional Worship Leader.   A program of hymns that were written in the decade of the 1860's was lifted up by a wonderful community "choir" and audience.  Our host narrators, Jed Evans and Don Giles, gave commentary about each song and what was going on in the country at the time of its writing and about the author of each.   We thank everyone for the tremendous response to this community event; we hope to make it an annual event with a different decade of music chosen each year.
