The National Day of Prayer is always the first Thursday of May which is MAY 6, 2004 this years theme is

Join Pastors and Prayer Leaders as we gather on the Capitol Steps on Saturday, September 11 to kick off Prayer Across America. God gave a vision for Prayer Across America to a local Prayer Leader, Rev. Phil Epperson and his wife. They will be traveling to EVERY State Capitol in the US throughout the next year. This journey will begin in Springfield, on the IL State Capitol Steps on Saturday, September 11 at 1:00pm. JOIN US AND BRING YOUR PRAYING FRIENDS.

I am going to piggyback on this opportunity and hold a National Day of Prayer Coordinators Meeting that day as well. We will meet at 9:30 a.m., break for lunch and the prayer event, then reconvene until 4:30. This is a meeting to share strategy for promoting NDP for 2005 and to share details about events being held across the state. I hope YOU will plan to attend.

Stay tuned to this website for meeting location, I should have it settled later this week, by August 15 for sure.

Coordinators,

I am praising God for all your efforts...IL had more observances for the National Day of Prayer than we ever had...thank you for all you do to promote prayer for those who lead us.
