A Day of Thanksgiving at Valley Forge

On June 27, 2026, a special day of thanksgiving and worship is planned at Washington Memorial Chapel: The Nation’s Chapel at Valley Forge located on private property within the Valley Forge National Historical Park—one of America’s most hallowed places. 

The day will begin at 2:00 PM with a FREE viewing of the Sight & Sound film “A Great Awakening” telling the story of The Reverend George Whitefield’s powerful preaching during the first great awakening to tens of thousands of Americans and his unlikely friendship with Benjamin Franklin.

Following the movie, at 5:00 PM, there will be a special Evensong from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer (the same prayer book that shaped George Washington’s faith).
