This June, Get as Close to “Mystery Science Theater 3000” on the Big Screen as 2018 Will Allow

The first came in 1775, “with the first call to prayer that happened when the Continental Congress called for prayers for the forming nation.” Democratic President Harry S Truman signed the first official declaration by Congress of a national day of prayer in 1952. Republican President Ronald Reagan amended that law to designate the first Thursday in May ....
