May

Each year the Freedom Festival partners with the Provo City Veterans Council to remember and honor those lost while bravely serving our nation in the Armed Forces. We welcome you to join us this Monday, May 29, at 10am for our annual Memorial Day ceremony at Provo City Cemetery. (In the event of inclement weather, the event will be moved to the Covey Center for the Arts in downtown Provo.) Check back here soon for more details on the event. Thank you to all who serve our great nation in the Armed Forces, and also to the family members of those who serve!

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.
