“I have found the greatest power in the world is the power of prayer”
-Cecil B. DeMille, Academy Award-winning Producer
Created in 1952 by a joint resolution of Congress, the National Day of Prayer is an annual observance held on the first Thursday of May, inviting people of all faiths to pray for the nation.
Tonight believers in the entertainment industry and from local congregations throughout greater Los Angeles will gather at Bel Air Presbyterian Church to celebrate the 2011 National Day of Prayer. Hollywood professionals and men and women of faith from throughout L.A. will gather to ask for God’s blessing upon their efforts in the entertainment industry and every realm of influence in the city. Following the word of the Lord to the prophet Jeremiah they will, “Seek the peace and prosperity of the city… Pray to the LORD for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper” (29:7).
Tonight’s celebration is sponsored by local churches and faith-based Hollywood arts communities such as The Greenhouse Arts and Media, Beacon Arts Fellowship, and the Hollywood Prayer Network, a non-denominational Christian prayer ministry for the purpose of praying for the people, the projects and the powerful influence of the Entertainment Industry.
