On Thursday, May 2, 2013, we celebrated an Interfaith National Day of Prayer.

We opened the National Day of Prayer with a little history of the event. One of our stakeholders read the Presidential Proclamation of the National Day of Prayer for 2013. We invited participants from various faith groups in our building to lead us in prayer in one of 7 areas: Government, Faith Groups, Military, Family, Education, Media, and Business.

Two residents and one post-acute patient lead in prayer. Several stakeholders led in prayer. We had prayers from Judaism, Buddhism, and Islam, as well as Christian prayers. We sang ‘America the Beautiful’ and ‘God Bless America.’

It was a beautiful time of uniting our hearts to pray for our country.

– Rev. Nancy Penton, Director of Spirituality
