It (Wednesday) is a day of fasting and prayer in Danville – so proclaimed by Mayor Rickey Williams Jr. Williams says the city is at a crossroads and needs God’s help now more than ever. The Mayor says the day is about addressing the recent violence which has claimed three lives…
Members of the audience cheered last night when Williams was sworn in to begin his first full term as Danville’s mayor. His mother, Laura Williams, remembers when the Mayor ran in another election….
Rickey Williams had been serving as Danville’s acting mayor ever since former Mayor Scott Eisenhauer resigned to accept a job as Rantoul’s Village Administrator.
A community prayer service is being held starting at 6 o’clock this evening (Wednesday, May 8, 2019) at the New Life Church of Faith at 1419 North Bowman Avenue.
