National Day of Prayer

Rev. Greg Gilberto leads a prayer at the local event for the National Day of Prayer, which was moved inside Thursday at the Black River Coliseum this year because of wet weather. The National Day of Prayer was created in 1952 by a joint resolution of Congress and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman.
