The very first official act of the Continental Congress
was a call to prayer.
This occurred just after receiving the news that British troops had attacked Boston. On September 6, 1774 the first resolution ever made by the Continental Congress said:
"Tuesday, September 6, 1774. Resolved, The Rev. Mr. Duche be desired to open the Congress tomorrow morning with prayers, at the Carpenter's Hall, at 9 o'clock." (The Journals of the Continental Congress 1774-1789, Washington DC)

Thanks for the pings LadyX
hope you have a very good weekend
Thank you for posting this important reminder from our past. It is a FACT that God, His commandments, and faith in Him was the Rock upon which our country was founded, regardless of how some would like to change our history (and our future course).
Thank you, my Lady, for the beautiful rainbow picture, and the web site that has our founding documents on it! I bookmarked it on my computer. :^)
