Open to all for Christian prayer, Pray Nevada County meets each Tuesday from noon to 1 p.m. to pray for our county governments and services, schools and families, businesses and media, and churches and parachurch ministries. Since August 1997, 15 to 25 people from eight to 12 congregations have met each week to pray for our communities. During the month of January, we will meet at Grace Lutheran Church, 1979 Ridge Road in Grass Valley (adjacent to Nevada Union High School on the west).
