Chicago, IL (May 10, 2023) – Pastor John F. Hannah, Senior Pastor of New Life Covenant SE Church congregation will host its annual “Prayer on the 9” initiative where thousands of people stand together in solidarity during a city-wide march. “Prayer on the 9” with its theme “Our Youth Matter” is a community outreach program that serves as a catalyst for social change in Chicago communities where violence is most prevalent, “Prayer On The 9” will be held on Saturday, May 27th beginning at 12 noon. Pastor Hannah will present his community address at the beginning of the rally at 79th Street and Greenwood.
Pastor Hannah will lead The Step Out, when the entire group will be directed to March down 79th Street in unison with families walking together.
“Prayer On The 9” was created to draw citywide attention to the senseless violence and shootings that plague Chicago. The event serves as a call-to-action for the community to gather and to pray together as one community, one city against violence of any kind.
Families from across the city will join the walk and speak out for the safety and peace that their communities deserve. It is the hope that this show of solidarity and love will help all youth to recognize that life is precious and all lives should be valued.
Pastor Hannah states, “Our city is under siege. Our youth deserve to live their lives without fear of senseless shootings and violence. They deserve to live long and healthy lives free of trauma and daily fear.”
