The National Day of Prayer Task Force's mission is to communicate with every individual the need for personal repentance and prayer, mobilizing the Christian community to intercede for America and its leadership in the five centers of power: Church, Education, Family, Government and Media.
II. Personal Prayer Requests
III. Repentance and Silent Prayer
This is a time for self-examination. Repentance means to change your mind about something, ask forgiveness, and make a U-turn in your life.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, don’t rely on your own intelligence; in all your ways be mindful of him, and he will make straight your paths. Prov 3:5
What? Have you forgotten that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit? He lives in you, a gift from God the Father so that you are no longer your own masters. A great price was paid to ransom you. So use every part of your body to give glory back to God. 1 Cor 6:20
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9

Is this a toll free number? What does it cost?
No this is not a toll free call. You are responsible for paying for your call to the dial in number for the conference, which is area code (435). But it will allow us to pray together as a group for the first time ever!!
How does this call work?
The web site www.freegoconference.com is making this possible by letting us use their "bridge". This is an expensive piece of telecommunications equipment which enables up to 150 callers to be on the same phone call. You do not have to go to this web site to sign up for this call.
What other keys can I press on my phone?
The 3 key will exit you from the conference. The 4 key is for conference instructions which is the menu of touchtone instructions.
Conference Call Etiquette
Many people use these conference calls every day on their job. For those of us who don't here are some things to keep in mind. Unless you are muted, everyone will be able to hear your background noise. So if your dog is barking or if you have to cough, press the 6 key once to mute your phone. When you speak say your name and then start talking, being sure to be succinct. If you are praying you do not have to announce your name every time.
