(WPDE) — The Department of Neighborhood Services facilitated a National Day of Prayer group worship event in Myrtle Beach Thursday The group hosts the event every year on the first Thursday in May encouraging members of all faiths to join for prayer and singing "There's this thing called corporate worship corporate prayer: when we're doing it together it's like everybody's on one accord and everybody believes," Mary "Cookie" Goings Director of Neighborhood Services for Myrtle Beach TODAY: 7-acre fire on Burning Ridge Road 100% contained: SCFC Prayers were led by a few faith leaders, as well as city officials such as Councilman Mike Chestnut and Mayor Brenda Bethune. "They're here because they want to be and they believe, and have hope," Goings said. Bethune said a special prayer against gun violence for the youth of our nation. "I want us to all pray for our young people because lady and gentleman I believe we have a societal issue," Bethune said. "I didn’t grow up where it was okay for a kid to carry a gun and solve their problems by shooting the person they had the problem with." The theme for this year's National Day of Prayer is "Pour Out to the God of Hope and Be Filled." During her prayer, Bethune became emotional and began crying. "God, I ask you to be with the families of all those who have lost their children because of violence, regardless of whether their children are the ones who caused it or not. There are families, there are parents, there are siblings that will never see their loved ones again, and that breaks our hearts. That breaks my heart and breaks your heart too," Bethune said. While she did not specifically mention the shooting on North Ocean Boulevard, her prayer comes after an 18-year-old died and 11 others were hurt in the incident. Scattered thunderstorms are expected Monday afternoon and evening. Some may become severe with large hail and high winds.
