Mayor Mike Absher prays w- Heartland Regional during National Day of Prayer - May 7, 2020

The National Day of Prayer calls on all people of different faiths to pray for the nation. Held annually on the first Thursday of May, our Celebration has become a moving annual tradition at Heartland Regional Medical Center. This year’s event at Heartland Regional Medical Center looked a little different. We were honored to have Marion Mayor Mike Absher lead us in prayer this morning. Inspired by President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s D-Day prayer, Mayor Absher delivered an inspirational message to all employees who are serving on the frontline during the COVID-19 pandemic. “Give us faith in thee; faith in each other; faith in our united crusade. Let not the keenness of our spirit ever be dulled. Let not the impacts of temporary events of temporal matters of but fleeting moment – let not these deter us in our purpose.”
