On Thursday, May 4 join area pastors, chaplains and community leaders as we pray for our nation, community, and civic leaders at the Town Hall (near the flagpole) in Continental. The service will begin at noon. The Continental Elementary Show Choir will also perform. Feel free to bring a lawn chair and join many across our nation in this time of prayer. Rain location is Sparling Park – next to the Hardware store.
The National Day of Prayer is an annual observance held on the first Thursday of May, inviting people of all faiths to pray for our nation. It was created in 1952 by a joint resolution of the United States Congress and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman. Since its inception, this day has continually united Americans from all socio-economic, political, and ethnic backgrounds in prayer while also encouraging personal repentance and righteousness in the culture. The National Day of Prayer belongs to all Americans and is a day that transcends differences, bringing together citizens to celebrate our most beloved freedom; the freedom to humbly come before God and seek His guidance in prayer.
