Proof The Bible Is True

On April 30, 1789, after George Washington took the oath of office to become the first president of the United States, he proceeded to St. Paul’s Chapel in New York City, accompanied by Congress, to offer God a prayer of dedication on the new country’s behalf.

 

In that spirit, dozens of members of Congress will gather this year in the nation’s capital to offer their own prayers on behalf of America, the president and his cabinet, the Supreme Court and its justices, and Congress.

 

The sixth annual “Washington – A Man of Prayer” service will take place April 26 at 6:30 p.m. in the U.S. Capitol’s Statuary Hall, where weekly Christian church services were held from 1800 to 1869. House Speaker Paul Ryan is scheduled to open this year’s event, and Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont., and Rep. Tim Walberg. R-Mich., will serve as honorary hosts.

 

The list of House members planning to attend includes such names as Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, Sean Duffy, R-Wis., Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., Trent Franks, R-Ariz., Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, Steve King, R-Iowa, Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash. and Mark Walker, R-N.C.

 

Steve Amerson, known as “America’s tenor,” and a National Christian Choir ensemble, directed by Kathy Bowman, will provide special music.

 

The event is invitation-only and not open to the public. However, WND will livestream the event, and Daystar Television Network will broadcast it around the world.
