Prayer of Protection

Posted

Ministers and everyone attending the May 2 National Day of Prayer observance at Davidson St. Baptist Church, Clinton, offer a prayer of protection for 3rd District Congressman Jeff Duncan, R-Laurens, as he serves as guest speaker for the event. Part of a nationwide observance, the local observance features prayer for schools, government, first responders and military, and the community, with the Clinton High School Chorus providing special music. National Day of Prayer was established in 1952 by a joint resolution of Congress and signed into law by President Truman, but its origins actually date to 1775 - when the Continental Congress asked the colonies to pray for wisdom in forming the nation.
