Canyon Lake will come together in fellowship for its 12th Annual National Day of Prayer on Thursday, May 1, on the terrace at the Canyon Lake Lodge.
The morning will begin at 9:30 a.m. with refreshments, offering attendees an opportunity to mingle and connect before the program commences at 10 a.m.
All residents and their guests are invited to attend this meaningful community gathering.
Councilman Jeremy Smith will lead the event, setting the tone for a morning of unity, reflection, and prayer.
This year’s keynote speaker is Riverside County District Attorney Mike Hestrin.
Prayers will be offered by local officials, church pastors, and community members, fostering a spirit of togetherness and reinforcing the community’s shared values of strength, hope, and faith.
In addition to musical performances, the program includes prayers for the city, county, state, leaders, unity, those affected by war, first responders, military and veterans, victims, the missing, at-risk youth, seniors, children, and families.
All are encouraged to attend and participate in this uplifting event. There is no charge to attend, and reservations are not required.
National Day of Prayer has been celebrated in the U.S. since 1952, by joint resolution of Congress and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman. In 1988, President Ronald Reagan designated the first Thursday of May as the National Day of Prayer.
