Interfaith National Day of Prayer

This event is being organized by our friends from the Church of Latter Day Saints through Columbus Interfaith. 

Representatives from a variety of spiritual paths will will provide wisdom from their faith background and offer a prayer.  This is a wonderful opportunity to build bridges with our friends of other faiths and learn more about the cultures that we share our community with.

Background History: 

The history of prayer in America goes back to our founding fathers. There have consistently been official observances of prayer and fasting since the Continental Congress in 1775. In 1952 amidst the Korean War, President Truman signed a bill ensuring a National Day of Prayer be declared by all subsequent presidents after him. It is now enshrined in Law that on the first Thursday of May be declared the National Day of Prayer. The event has been honored at the White House consistently since President Regan up to last year with President Biden. It is an opportunity for a united voice of prayer by all who wish to call upon a higher power to help direct and bless this great country.
