In 1952, President Harry S. Truman signed into law the National Day of Prayer. Sixty-nine years later, Rio Rancho saw its first National Day of Prayer breakfast.
The event took place at the Rio Rancho Church of Christ on Thursday, and plenty of attendees promptly made the 7 a.m. start. Members representing over 10 churches walked through the front doors with smiles and an apparent sense of comfort.
