For generations, Americans have lifted up scripture-filled prayers in every season and circumstance. From the first national calls to prayer by our Founding Fathers seeking divine guidance, the truths of the Bible have been the foundation for prayer through every tragedy and triumph in our history.
The 2024 National Day of Prayer Theme is a call to stand on this foundation, to “Lift Up The Word – Light Up The World” inspired from the faithful prayer of 2 Samuel 22:29-31 ESV “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.”
The annual National Day of Prayer is an opportunity for Americans to pray together in faith, standing on the promises of God. On Thursday, May 2nd, 2024, thousands of people will gather to intercede for neighbor and nation and pray for those who lead, and those in need.
Churches in the Thorp and Stanley area will join together for a community prayer service on Thursday evening May 2nd at 7:00pm. The service will be held at Trinity Vineyard Church located at W11581 County Road X in Stanley.
Everyone in the community is invited to attend this service as prayers are lifted up for our nation, state, cities, schools, churches, families, and the nation of Israel.
The National Day of Prayer tradition predates the founding of the United States of America, evidenced by the Continental Congress’ proclamation in 1775 setting aside a day of prayer. In 1952, Congress established an annual day of prayer and, in 1988, that law was amended, designating the National Day of Prayer as the first Thursday in May.
