Church prayer rally in Colorado Springs expects thousands at Saturday event

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- Tomorrow morning, a church rally will be held at Memorial Park. Dr. Steve Holt, event organizer and Senior Pastor of The Road Church at Chapel Hill, says the event could draw as many as 3,000 participants.

The religious event will feature religious activist Sean Feucht, who is holding a similar rally in Fort Collins tonight.

The Colorado Springs rally will be held tomorrow morning, 1605 E. Pikes Peak Ave, at Memorial Park on the grass east of Prospect Lake.

Dr. Steve Holt says, "So we’re expecting a big crowd and we’re expecting it to just be pumping with praise, and worship and prayer. Pastors are going to be getting up and praying. It’s going to be an exciting time."

Holt adds that the event will be one of peace and prayer, stating, "What we want to do is the opposite of all the riots and the pain, and the hurt that’s been going on. We want to come with healing."

Already, more than 1,300 people have responded on Facebook that they're interested in attending tomorrow's event.

KRDO asked if masks will be required at the religious gathering. Dr. Steve Holt clarified, "We just encourage you, if you’re one who wears a mask, wear a mask. If you want to social distance, social distance. We can’t mandate that in that big of a group because it’ll certainly be a crazy time of praise and worship and prayer."

- Al Pittman, senior pastor at Calvary Worship Center

- Todd and Kelly Hudnall, senior pastors at Radiant Church
