The National Day of Prayer (NDP) is a day set aside by law for the citizens of America to honor God, and to acknowledge our dependence upon Him. The NDP is observed each year on the first Thursday of May.

We are indeed blessed to live in a country whose leaders unanimously passed a law years ago designating an annual day of prayer, formally requesting that the people pray for them.

As in previous years, millions of people across the nation will soon be gathering for prayer and worship in city halls, county courthouses, schools, businesses and houses of worship. Here in the greater Killeen area, volunteers are now organizing various prayer events for this year’s NDP, which will be observed Thursday, May 1.

The theme for this year’s National Day of Prayer, as designated by NDP organizers in Colorado Springs, is: “Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit,” which is found in Romans 15:13 (NASB).

There is still time to plan a prayer event. The Killeen Christian Ministers Fellowship will be hosting an informal meeting to provide information & resources to those who may be interested in organizing or helping with a prayer gathering:

Who: Pastors, Ministers, chaplains and interested Businessmen/women
What: NDP Planning Meeting & Prayer Luncheon hosted by Killeen Ministers Fellowship 
When: 11:30 am - 1:00 pm Tuesday, April 1
Where: East Side Baptist Church, 500 N. WS Young
Other: A complimentary lunch will be provided
