The annual National Day of Prayer will be observed coming up this evening at 6:30 PM at Trade Day on Highway 27 just north of Summerville.

The theme for the 2022 National Day of Prayer is “Exalt the Lord who Established Us.”

The National Day of Prayer was created in 1952 by a joint resolution of Congress, and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman. In 1988, the law was unanimously amended by both the House and the Senate and signed into law by President Ronald Reagan on Thursday, May 5, 1988, designating the first Thursday of May as a day of national prayer.

Every president since 1952 has signed a National Day of Prayer proclamation. For more information, call 715-362-4792 or go to nationaldayofprayer.org.
