The Chadron Pastoral Community encourages people of all faiths to stand in unity on the weekend of Oct 6 & 7 (World Communnion Sabbath) to pray for rain.
: Pray for needed moisture here and in the whole region of the high plains, along with the upper mid-west.
:Pray for our Farmers and Ranchers, Brothers and Sisters whose lives have been profoundly affected by years of drought and recent fires.
:Pray for all creatures large and small whose lives depend on water for their existence.
