In 2009 the Grandparents.com website stated that 66% of grandparents had never celebrated Grandparents Day. However, Christian Grandparenting Network (CGN) is wanting to change that statistic by proclaiming National Grandparents Day on September 8 as Grandparents Day of Prayer.
CGN is calling all grandparents in their churches, community and around the world to unite in prayer for the next generation. We are living in a troubled, disturbed world. Perhaps no time in history have our families been attacked by the culture and governing bodies with such hostility. It seems like every day we hear of new attacks on the family. However, as grandparents we have the power of prayer to keep the hearts and minds of our grandchildren from falling captive to the enemy’s deception and lies.
