The National Day of Prayer is coming up this afternoon (Thursday, May 7) and a prayer gathering and prayer chain is being planned by Salem coordinator Mike Ray.

National-Day-Of-Prayer

There will be a conference call from 6a until Noon where pastors and Christians can call 712-775-7031 and pray and receive prayer. To access the number, enter the code 775179009 followed by the # (pound) key. The call costs approx.seven cents per minute.

After the call has ended at noon, there will be a public prayer gathering at Noon in Purlee Plaza, just off the square.

This will be a public gathering of local Christians expressing their faith and hearing various speakers and musicians. The event will be broadcast live on WSLM 97.9 FM and WSLM 1220 AM during the hour.

“If you plan on participating in the conference call, plan on dialing in 10 minutes early,” said Ray. “We will open the call at 6a with The Lord’s Supper and we will be in prayer from 6a and noon. When you call in, you can stay with the call for 1 to 5 minutes or the entire time.”

Ray encourages churches and National Day of Prayer teams to participate.
