Community sets for day of prayer

Community members can unite as one voice in prayer this week, in honor of the 63rd annual observance of the National Day of Prayer.

At noon tomorrow, community members can join Rev. Susan Dyer of St. Barnabas’ Episcopal Church at Saratoga’s Community Meditation Garden, to participate in “One Voice, United in Prayer”. The garden is located next to the church and across from the Saratoga Post Office.

One Voice, United in Prayer is this year’s theme for the National Day of Prayer, and, according to the National Day of Prayer Task Force, emphasizes the need for individuals to join together in corporate prayer, calling upon the unfailing character of God.

“This 63rd annual, national observance on May 1 will have profound significance for our country,” said John Bornschein, National Day of Prayer Task Force Vice Chairman. “By joining together in prayer, we have an unprecedented opportunity to see the Lord’s healing and renewing power made manifest as we call upon citizens to humbly come before His throne.”

The Task Force stated that millions will assemble at thousands of local National Day of Prayer events across America, where they will take time out of their daily schedules to intercede on behalf of their communities, nation and leaders.
