DURANT – Market Square in downtown Durant was the site of a community prayer meeting on Friday night.
Many people from the extended Durant community gathered near the city’s Christmas tree to honor and uplift in prayer the family of Will Robinson.
Robinson died on Tuesday, Dec. 24, in a tragic vehicle accident in Sherman, Texas. The vehicle was swept off the road by waters from a heavy rain and into a drainage ditch off U.S. Highway 75. His wife and three of his children were rescued. An 8-year-old daughter, Clara, remains missing.
Those in attendance took time to pray for the family and for those still searching for Clara. The meeting was closed with the singing of a hymn and time for people to console one another in this time of loss.
