National Day of Prayer

Tomorrow, May 4th, is the 55th annual National Day of Prayer.

The National Day of Prayer was established by a joint resolution of the United States Congress and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman. The United States was born in prayer and founded on a relationship with God, while instituting His biblical principals and moral values.

Events are scheduled across the United States to create awareness of the power of prayer and to:

Protect America's Constitutional Freedoms to gather, worship, pray and speak freely.

Encourage prayer for the challenges facing our families, our towns, our country and our world today.

Respect all people, regardless of denomination or creed.

National Day of Prayer is not a function of the government and, therefore, a particular expression of it can be defined by those who choose to organize it. It is about prayer, not about religion.
