Immanuel Baptist Church in Lebanon is hosting a unique evening service on Sunday, June 27 and has invited Wilson County Mayoral candidates Don Fox, Randall Hutto and Phillip Warren to attend and speak to members during the service which starts at 6 p.m.
The candidates will each have time to speak to the congregation about their views and what they hope to accomplish for Wilson County, followed by prayer for the candidates and their families along with an informal meet-and-greet afterwards.
Pastor John Hunn said that there is a “biblical mandate to pray for your leaders,” adding, “my concern in this day and age is that people are making decisions on what they’re for or against based on a lack of knowledge.” |
