The event generally lasts about 30 minutes and the public is urged to attend. This will be the 62nd national observance of the Day of Prayer.The theme this year is “Pray for America” and will emphasize the need for individuals, corporately and individually, to place their faith in the unfailing character of their creator, who is sovereign over all governments, authorities, and men.
