For seven days, people will be meeting at 8:30 a.m. at the Hays County Historic Courthouse in San Marcos to bring together their power of prayer in the goal of seeking the return of rain to this community. Area churches and others have been gathering periodically in the community over the last several weeks to pray for rain to alleviate some of the intense drought and heat affecting the city, the county and the state. Among churches recently participating here are PromiseLand, Sinai Pentecostal Church, First Baptist Church San Marcos, First Baptist Church NBC and San Marcos Community Church. Rain is forecast as a possibility this afternoon and through the evening as part of a tropical system coming out of the Gulf of Mexico.
