FREDERICK, Md., Oct. 14, 2026 – The third week of the Declaration of Dependence Tour with Will Graham wrapped up on Wednesday with a stop at the Baker Park Bandshell in Frederick, Maryland. The visit marked the 10th event of the Tour, which is reaching all 13 of the original colonies with dedicated times of prayer, worship and evangelism.
“Maybe you grew up in a good home—even a Christian home—but somewhere along the way you got off track, and now you are a long way from God. But today you can come home,” said Graham, while sharing a message from the Parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15). “That is what God is offering you today. The Prodigal Son came home. Today, you can come home too.”
Following his message, Graham invited the audience to accept Jesus as their Savior and “come home” to Him. Many across the bandshell seating area responded in repentance and faith.
