Three different events are being held at three different locations Thursday, May 6. Charles Barnes, who attends Christ Community Church in Idaho Falls, is helping to organize it. He tells EastIdahoNews.com the purpose of the event is to bring people together to pray for the problems facing the nation today. The problems he’s referring to include hatred, division and confusion related to the COVID-19 pandemic, politics, ideas being taught in public schools, the rise of secularism among elected officials and the removal of religion and God from the public square.
