National Day of Prayer Announced
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.
The Town of Falkville usually hosts a gathering in the morning and evening. This year the town asks you to join the observance at First Baptist in Hartselle.
You can also pray right where you are to lift up our local, state and national leaders.
God bless America!
