The 71st Annual National Day of Prayer is still set for Thursday from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., but due to potential rain the event has been moved to First Baptist Church’s sanctuary at the corner of 3rd Street and JR Miller Boulevard (enter through street-level double doors on 3rd Street).

New this year is a teen prayer night that will take place tonight (May 4). The teen prayer event will be a night focused on prayer, praise and worship. It is designed for middle and high school students/youth pastors. It will take place from 6:30-8 p.m. at Pleasant Valley Community Church.

For the main NDP event on Thursday.

“A Circle of Good News” will be from 11:30-11:50 a.m, when attendees will quietly read aloud their pre-assigned verses from the Bible so that by the end of the 20 minutes the entire Bible will have been read aloud. Attendees can pick up their “start-to-read-here” Scripture verse and instructions beginning at 10:30 a.m.    

Owensboro Health Regional Hospital employees are voluntarily participating in the Bible read during their lunch time.
