All Christians in the Saddleback area are invited to unite in worship and an evening of prayer. Pastors from various local churches and denominations will pray for God to bless our community, our leaders and our country. The service is held in many different languages.

Traditionally, the President of the United States signs a proclamation encouraging Americans to pray on this day. It wasn’t until June 14, 1954 that President Eisenhower signed into law, “under God” officially adding the words into the Pledge of Allegiance.
