President and Officials Speak at Christian Prayer Event on National Mall

The president and several administration officials spoke at a conservative Christian prayer gathering held on the National Mall over the weekend.

The religious event was put together by Freedom 250, a public-private organization that is working alongside the White House to coordinate celebrations for America’s upcoming 250th birthday celebration this summer.

The gathering drew worshippers who participated in Christian music and prayer as part of what organizers called a dedication ceremony in honor of the nation’s milestone anniversary.
