California Family Council is hosting a “powerful gathering” on May 1 at the California State Capitol in Sacramento for the National Day of Prayer as the Satanic Temple plans their own festivities.

Millions of Christians will bow their heads one week from today (Thursday, May 1), lifting ourselves up in prayer and gratitude. “Praying together at the Capitol is more than symbolic—it’s a bold declaration that faith has a place in the public square, and that prayer has the power to change hearts, shape policy, and bring renewal. With an uplifting schedule of Scripture, worship, and intercession, every moment of this gathering will be an opportunity to unite in purpose and call upon the Lord with one voice,” CFC wrote in a statement about their National Day of Prayer celebrations.

The aforementioned group are planning their own festivities at the California State Capitol, in what CFC described as ” boldly mocking the sacred purpose of the National Day of Prayer and attempting to sow confusion, darkness, and deception.”

Marketing materials for the event say the members will be singing songs of “Satanic Nature,” giving poetry readings of the work of Lucien Greaves, who founded the group. Talks on “heresy and personal freedom” while openly mocking Biblical values will also take place.

“They are not hiding it—they are deliberately gathering to desecrate a day meant for prayer. They intend to publicly reject Jesus and promote a godless worldview under the banner of ‘pluralism’ and ‘personal freedom,'” CFC added.

What Is CFC Offering At Their Event?

According to the statement, there will be “ve worship music, Scripture readings, and guided prayer segments throughout the day. Various pastors, leaders, and prayer warriors will share and lead us.”

This is very much a family-friendly event. Children are encouraged to come along and experience the true power of faith in action. (RELATED: ‘America Has Put Our Trust In God’: Trump Delivers Blunt Message To Those Trying To Rid US Of Faith)

As we stand united in prayer, let us walk with faith and expectancy, confident that God’s love and power will guide us through every challenge and lead our nation to a brighter, more hopeful future.

Keep Acting Local

Politicians you elect in your city, county, and state usually have a greater impact on your daily life than anyone in the federal government. During “off-years,” these local races send ripple effects throughout American communities. It is up to you to shape them.

It seems like every time we at Million Voices speak to lawmakers and their teams, they all tell us the same thing: if just 10 people in their district write letters about issues that matter to them, elected officials know they have a serious crisis on their hands. A thousand people could message that same lawmaker via email or social media, and it would mean nothing. But hand-written, or even printed and signed letters, will make your politicians take action (if they really care about your vote, that is).

Contacting your representatives should be easy, but there are myriad ways they can ignore your calls to action. That’s where we come in. 

Yes, Million Voices helps you with voter guides. Yes, we send letters from YOU directly to your elected officials because it’s the only way to guarantee they’ll listen to you. Yes, we publish data, articles, text messages, and help bridge the gap between education and civic action. But what do you want? Tell us today.

We want to make YOU the hero of our American story by giving you the tools you need to make a difference, from your local, state, all the way up to the federal level.

Join us in our mission to advocate for religious freedom, support fair and secure elections, and uphold the values that this great nation was built upon. Tell us what you want from the next four years, and we will fight to make it a reality … again!
