National Day of Prayer Event held in Manchester

The National Day of Prayer is an annual observance held on the first Thursday of May, inviting people of all faiths to pray for the nation. It was created in 1952 by a joint resolution of the United States Congress and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman.
In 1988, President Reagan signed an amendment to the law that designated the first Thursday of May as the National Day of Prayer.
The past Thursday the Manchester National Day of Prayer event was held in the board room at Manchester City Hall. Several people participated, praying for our local first responders, our country, President Trump and more.
