National Day of Prayer 2024

On Thursday, May 2nd, we will observe  National Day of Prayer.

This day is designated by the United States Congress as a day for people “to turn to God in prayer and meditation.” 

The theme for National Day of Prayer 2024 is, LIFT UP THE WORD – LIGHT UP THE WORLD.

The verse for NDOP 2024 is

"For you are my lamp, O Lord, and my God lightens my darkness. For by You I can run against a troop, and by my God I can leap over a wall. This God—his way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true; He is a shield for all those who take refuge in Him.”

2 Samuel 22:29-31
