Biloxi will mark National Day of Prayer with a multi-denominational observance Thursday at noon at Biloxi City Hall.
The hour-long ceremony, organized by Carleen E. Hall, is scheduled to take place indoors this year, instead of on the front steps of City Hall, because of the threat of inclement weather.
The event, themed “For Your Great Name’s Sake! Hear Us, Forgive Us, Heal Us!”, is free and open to the public.
Mayor Andrew “FoFo” Gilich will present a proclamation in honor of National Day of Prayer, and a host of local clergy and others will take part in the program.
