The Carroll County Chamber of Commerce announces plans for the 

2023 National Day of Prayer in Carroll County

Please join the Carroll County Chamber members and friends at the Carroll County Airport on Thursday, May 4, at 8 a.m. for the 2023 National Day of Prayer as we turn to the Father in prayer and in reverence to His holy name.    

The 72nd annual National Day of Prayer theme and Scripture reference is

“Pray fervently in righteousness and avail much.”

James 5:16B

Prayer is an integral part of our lives for centuries, and the call to prayer is as relevant as ever.  Since our nation’s founding, our leaders have called for days of prayer and thanksgiving.  Originally signed into law by President Harry Truman in 1952, the National Day of Prayer in the United States is a day when people of all faiths are asked to pray for our nation.

The National Day of Prayer is a national observance in which anyone can participate, regardless of faith background.  Over 40,000 prayer gatherings are held annually, meaning millions of people are taking part in this day of corporate and individual prayer as an expression of their spiritual lives.  This day of devotion is an opportunity to exalt the Lord and ask for His blessings for our nation, state, county, and our neighbors.  

The general public is invited to attend.  The event is sponsored locally by the Carroll County Chamber of Commerce.  For more information, please contact the Chamber at 731-986-4664.
