The National Day of Prayer is Thursday, May 2, 2024!! Join Vista UMC as tens-of- thousands of prayer gatherings take place on that day from coast to coast. Our serene church in the middle of the desert in Catalina will be joining our Nation between 10:30 am and 12:00 pm in our Sanctuary. All are welcome to stop by during this time. There will be prayer stations assisted by our Stephen Minister team with prayer guides/handouts for each station.
Days of prayer have been called for since 1775, when the Continental Congress designated a time for prayer in forming a new nation. In 1863, Abraham Lincoln called for such a day. Officially, the NDP was established as an annual event by an act of Congress in 1952 and was signed into law by President Truman. The observance of the National Day of Prayer is founded on the constitutional rights of freedom of speech and freedom of religion and can be celebrated by all Americans.
President Reagan amended the law in 1988, designating the first Thursday of May each year as the NDP.
