The National Day of Prayer is on May 5, encouraging personal repentance and righteousness in the American culture across the country.

PacMoore will be holding prayer gatherings throughout the day on Thursday at its two contract manufacturing facilities in Hammond and Mooresville, Indiana.

We will be praying for family, friends, customers, the community, the country and the world.

There will be food and prayer materials available for those who want to participate.

We invite our customers, clients, and their family and friends to send personal or company prayer requests, along with photos of people for whom we should pray. Prayer requests and photos can be sent to Chris Bekermeier at
