You may have noticed a structure of wire mesh strung between two posts outside Trinity United Church of Christ on North Hanover Street in Pottstown recently.

Called the Community Prayer Wall, the church is hoping area residents, or those just passing through the area, will take a slip of colored paper attached to the wall and write a personal prayer on it.

According to a notice attached to the wall, it is meant to commemorate the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem, itself a remainder of Solomon's Temple. According to the notice "the faithful" place pieces of colored paper with prayers written on them into cracks in the Wailing Wall.

Trinity's congregation will pray at the wall for the prayers placed there during a Prayer and Faith Sharing e-vent that kicks off Sept. 28 and runs through Nov. 8.

They ask that no one remove the prayers that are placed in the wall.
