Oak Cliff Drive-Through Prayer Event Coincides with National Day of Prayer

Dallas, April 28, 2022—A Drive-Through Prayer Event sponsored by Tyler Street Church takes place on May 5 from 4 to 6 pm at the church’s parking lot at 9th and Polk Streets (near the Bishop Arts District.) This date coincides with the National Day of Prayer which was created by President Harry Truman in 1952. The last time this drive-though event was held, 30 volunteers from Tyler Street Church and other local churches prayed for the needs and concerns of more than 120 neighbors. To provide ample opportunity to those who’d like prayer, drive-through prayers will be available in the parking lot every Thursday afternoon on May 5, 12, 19, and 26 from 4 pm to 6 pm.

"You simply drive through and roll down your window. Volunteers pray for you or for whatever is on your heart. We know these are difficult times, and we all need someone who will care about us, and show us love. This is our church's way of sharing God's grace and love with the neighbors around the Bishop Arts District," says event organizer Alan Elliott. "Typical prayer concerns include health issues, family relationships, job searches, and world events. Every prayer request is treated with love and respect. Follow-up prayers by our prayer team are available after the event to anyone who makes a request.”

The Tyler Street Church parking lot is located at the corner of 9th and Polk Streets (976 W 9th, Dallas.) Pastor is Rev. Jeff Garrett. Tyler Street Church has been serving the North Oak Cliff community since 1912. More information is available at www.tylerstreet.church or www.oakcliff.org. Those who cannot make the drive-through event may text a prayer request to (469) 780-2793 or email to prayer@tylerstreet.church.
