43 MAY 2026 www.goodnewsfl.org Good News • South Florida Edition COMMUNITY NEWS Each year, the president issues a proclamation calling our nation to prayer on the first Thursday of May across the United States, May 7, 2026. This National Day of Prayer (NDP) is significant as we mark the 250th anniversary of our country's establishment and the NDP's 75th year. The 2026 National Day of Prayer Theme is “Glorify God among the nations… seeking Him in all generations,” and is based on the following passage: “Tell of His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all the peoples (1 Chronicles 16:24 NASB). An official National Day of Prayer Broadcast will be aired from Statuary Hill at the U.S. Capital at 8 p.m. eastern time on Thursday, May 6, featuring faith leaders such as Kathy Branzell, Will Graham, Dr. Rob Pacienza, Os Guiness, Rosemary Siemens, Eli Bennett and others. You can access the live feed on the website at NationalDayofPrayer.org. You will also find a long list of local events being held throughout the day that you can attend in person at nationaldayofprayer.org/events and be sure to check with your local church, school or civic association to see what they have planned. A few of them are listed below.
