The 2013 National Day of Prayer for Santa Paula will be observed on Thursday, May 2 at 7 pm at Puente de Vida Church, 203 So. 8th.
As our nation struggles with continued economic and social challenges, citizens of the United States are preparing to exercise their freedom to gather, worship, and pray. Millions will answer the call to prayer on May 2nd in observance of the 62st annual National Day of Prayer. Organized events will be held in thousands of public venues where intercession will be made for America and its leadership.
This year’s theme, “Pray for America”, is based on Matthew 12:21 which reminds us that “In His name the nations will put their hope.” National Day of Prayer (NDP) Task Force Chairman Shirley Dobson, wife of Focus on the Family and Family Talk founder Dr. James Dobson, has said that, “The American people continue to be plagued with challenges that defy simple answers, and our hope lies in humbly seeking the Almighty’s guidance, protection, and blessing - not only on the National Day of Prayer, but throughout the year.”
Senior Pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship and Founder of Harvest Crusades - Greg Laurie - will serve as the 2013 Honorary Chairman of the NDP Task Force and will give the keynote address at the National Observance in Washington, D.C., to be held at the Cannon House Office Building.
Prayers in the Judeo-Christian traditions will be led by local pastors and leaders. There is no admission fee.
This NDOP event is sponsored by the Spirit of Santa Paula in cooperation with the National Day of Prayer Task Force. For more information, contact Dawn Bavero at 805.302.9939 or Kay Wilson-Bolton at 805.340.5025. You can visit the national website for more information at www.ndptf.org.
