National Day Of Prayer Set For May 1
April 21, 2025 at 9:30 p.m.
WINONA LAKE - On May 1, the Kosciusko National Day of Prayer will be held at noon at the Rodeheaver Auditorium in Winona Lake.
The theme this 74th year of the National Day of Prayer is “Hope given to us by God, from there we get our joy and peace no matter what is going on in the world or the community.”
Again, this year instead of having people praying from the stage, people will be at round tables where they will all pray as they feel led about their areas of prayer concern: church, families, schools, military, government and the persecuted church. Every few minutes, they will change to another of these topics. The idea is this: 200 prayers going into the throne room of God will make more of a difference than one prayer by someone on the stage, according to a provided news release.
Each table will have at least one prayer leader who is willing to pray out loud for the current topic. Everyone else may pray silently or out loud as they feel led. There will be slides on the screen up front with prayer topics, scripture and prayer starter notes. There will also be paper copies for each one at the tables.
The music will be led by Richard Dick, piano, and the three-generation family of singers Kirt Case, Bethany Couture and Connor Couture. The hymn of hope will be “Because He Lives” by the Gaithers. And the event will close with “God Bless America.”
The program will be livestreamed where those at home can pray along wherever they are at facebook.com/KosciuskoNDP or it can be watched later on YouTube at Kosciusko County IN National Day of Prayer.
