As America plans for the 250th Anniversary on July 4th, Senatobia is prefacing that historic event with the 75th Annual Day of Prayer
The event will be held at the Haraway Center on the campus of Northwest Mississippi Community College, Thursday, May 7. It I sponsored by the NWCC Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
The theme of this year’s prayer meeting is “Glorify God Among All Nations, Seek Him (Now) In All Generations” and is taken from 1 Chronicles 16:24
Prayer starts at high Noon on “The First Thursday in May.”
In 1952 a bill initiated by Mr. Conrad Hilton of Hilton Hotels and Senator Frank Carlson of Kansas was passed (Public Law 82-324, Sec. 119) that: The President shall set aside and proclaim a suitable day each year, other than a Sunday, as a National Day of Prayer, on which the people of the United States may turn to God in prayer and meditation at churches, in groups, and as individuals.
The National Day of Prayer is an annual observance held on the first Thursday of May. Local organizations are urged to also pray on this day as a sign of Christian unity and power in their communities.
The mission of the National Day of Prayer Task Force is to mobilize unified public prayer for America.
Senatobia’s National Day of Prayer will pray for local, state and national leaders.
The local event will open with a welcome by Dr. Michael Heindl, President Northwest Mississippi Community College and an overview of National Day of Prayer by Cynthia Todd, of LIFT Ministries and a regional National Day of Prayer coordinator for northwest Mississippi and MS National Governor’s Prayer Team coordinator.
