Day of Prayer event May 3

A National Day of Prayer event will be held at 7 p.m. on Thursday, May 3, at First Baptist Church, 1570 N. Danville Bypass.

People all over the U.S. will gather May 3 to pray for America on the following topics: family, education, church, media, military and government.

Dr. Jack Timothy Mathis, pastor of First Baptist, will deliver the national prayer common to all events across the country, with attendees joining the reading in unison.

The National Day of Prayer was created in 1952 by a joint resolution of Congress and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman. This year’s theme is “Unity,” based upon Ephesians 4:3: “Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding your selves together with peace.” National Day of Prayer organizers believe “prayer can bring people together and build bridges between opposing persons and even political parties.”

If you cannot attend the event, the organizers request that everyone pray at 7 p.m. on May 3, wherever they are.
