This year’s National Day of Prayer Celebration will be held Sunday May 4 at 7:00 pm in Provo Community Congregational United Church of Christ, located at 175 N University Ave. We are pleased to announce this year’s key-note speaker will be Michael McClean, the platinum recording artist known for his repertoire of perfect songs for “every twist or turn in life” and for touching generations with the messages of The Forgotten Carols and Celebrating the Light. He will share with us some of his personal experiences with prayer and his witness of the hope which intense prayer can bring in times of need. His musical performances will lift our hearts and inspire our thoughts. The Utah Valley Interfaith Choir, the Utah Children’s Choir and Jewels Olsen will also be performing. With prayers performed by local church leaders, this will be an evening to remember and you will not want to miss it. Donations to the Genesis Project may be made.
All through history, America has turned to God in times of conflict and in peace. The National Day of Prayer established by law in 1952 is observed each year in May. People across our nation gather together in over 60,000 local community events to be reminded of the importance of God’s hand in America and remember the great opportunity we still have in our nation to come before God publicly and privately. Our local Utah County celebration works to bring people of all faiths and convictions together and unite in a spirit of gratitude. We want all to recognize the blessings we have received from God and the value of prayer in obtaining help with the problems we face from day to day. This year’s them is Pour out to the God of Hope and be filled. We hope each of you, as an important part of our community, will join us in this not to be forgotten celebration of hope and gratitude.
