Geneva College′s National Day of Prayer breakfast will take place at Alexander Hall, from 7:30 to 9 a.m. on Thursday, May 7, 2015. This year′s theme is "Lord, Hear Our Cry” which is based on I Kings 8:28: “Hear the cry and the prayer that your servant is praying in your presence this day.”
The speaker will be Reverend Tom Stein of Chapel Presbyterian Church in Beaver. Stein is a native of Cincinnati, Ohio, and has degrees from Geneva College, Covenant Theological Seminary and Indiana University. He has served as a pastor in Minnesota and Indiana, and joined the Chapel Presbyterian Church staff in 2013. Stein also teaches courses in Geneva College’s Adult Degree Completion program.
The National Day of Prayer, held on the first Thursday of every May, has been acknowledged by Congress as an annual event since it was signed into law by President Harry S. Truman in 1952. It strives to emphasize the nation′s love and dependence on God.
"Through prayer we receive the comfort, the strength and all the other resources that we need in life-both naturally and spiritually," the official website states. "Prayer—relationship to God—is as necessary to the spiritual life as air to the natural life."
Geneva′s prayer breakfast is free and open to students, faculty, staff and the public.
Free-will offerings will be taken to benefit Pine Valley Bible Camp and the Tiger Pause Ministry of Beaver Falls.
