Pleasing God, Making Disciples of Jesus Christ

National Day of Prayer

The National Day of Prayer is an annual observance held on the first Thursday of May, inviting people of all faiths to pray for our nation. It was created in 1952 by a joint resolution of the United States Congress and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman. Since its inception, this day has continually united Americans from all socio-economic, political, and ethnic backgrounds in prayer while also encouraging personal repentance and righteousness in the culture. The National Day of Prayer belongs to all Americans and is a day that transcends differences, bringing together citizens to celebrate our most beloved freedom; the freedom to humbly come before God and seek His guidance in prayer.

All are welcome and encouraged to join together for prayer on Thursday, May 2, at 12:00 noon for the North Kingstown observance of the National Day of Prayer. This event will be held at Stony Lane Baptist Church, 921 Old Baptist Road. The theme for this year’s event is LOVE ONE ANOTHER: “Love one another, just as I have loved you.” John 13:34.

In addition, there will be a livestream event at 7:30pm EST. Watch below, or go to the Livestream Site.
