The Alton National Day of Prayer Observance is a Christian event that reaches across denominational lines, and has been organized by various individuals for decades. The mayors of both Alton and Godfrey will be participating, reading proclamations that call for the day of prayer in their respective cities. Program participants generally include Catholic clergy, ministers of various denominations, business people and other community leaders. Prayers are offered for our government, churches, education, business, law enforcement, the military, the sanctity of human life and other areas that are part of the foundation of our society.

“This is a great opportunity for all community members to join us as we lift the city and region in prayer. We highly encourage community members and anyone from anywhere to join us,” said Riverbend Rotary’s President and RiverBend Growth Association's Director of Member Services, Trish Holmes.

“I’m thrilled that Riverbend Rotary took the initiative to bring the program back. Like so many other important things, it was derailed by Covid last year. This year’s program will be special,“ adds Pastor Wenzel.
