The National Day of Prayer

Join us on May 4 at Leawood City Hall, noon to 1pm, as we take our place in the storyline.

Our nation has a long history of prayer. In fact, corporate prayer was a part of what would become the United States even before we were a nation. In 1775, the Continental Congress declared a day of fasting and prayer. Since then, George Washington, John Adams and Abraham Lincoln did the same.

In 1952, the modern era of the National Day of Prayer came into being, following a prayer rally held on the steps of the US Capitol Building, hosted by a young Billy Graham. 20,000 people gathered that day, and soon after, Congress passed a resolution calling for the National Day of Prayer to be a fixture on the US calendar.

This year, we are gathering with other believers at the Leawood City Hall on Thursday, May 4th, from Noon to 1pm for a noon-hour prayer meeting. Join us at 4800 Town Center Drive in the downstairs Oak Room.

We are asking for another great move of God in our nation. We believe it will touch every facet of society, and it will start with prayer.
