Bus riders on the Pray for America Rally Tour stopped at First UMC in downtown Oklahoma City for prayer and worship on Aug. 31.

From First Church, Jean Walker arranged for the visit and Hannah Davis led worship. Those gathered offered intercessory prayers for nation, state, and city.

Commissioned by the National Day of Prayer Task Force, the bus began a 23,000-mile, 300-city, 37-state tour on May 31 in Pittsburg, Pa.
