A prayer rally is scheduled for 7 p.m. tonight at Harral Auditorium at Wayland Baptist University in Plainview to bring the community together as Cargill beef packing plant closes Feb. 1.
Everyone is invited to attend as the community’s ministers and representatives from Plainview’s many churches offer prayers for peace of mind, community leadership and vision and for families.
Just hours before the rally, City Manager Greg Ingham said the 2,000 jobs affected by the plant's closure is about 14 percent of Hale County's workforce.
