Kings County
National Day of Prayer
First Thursday in May in Hanford Civic Park • 12pm-1pm
Our Story
A day of prayer for the whole community.
The annual National Day of Prayer was established by federal law in 1952 when the United States Congress passed a joint resolution, which was signed by President Harry Truman. The law was amended in 1988 and signed by President Ronald Reagan, specifically designating the first Thursday in May as the official National Day of Prayer.
On May 2, 2024, the National Day of Prayer will take place, and millions of Americans will unite from coast to coast to pray. It’s so exciting to see the incredible work God is doing in the hearts and lives of people as a result of people coming together in prayer. For the last two decades, Kings County has hosted a community prayer event, aligning itself with the nation in prayer.
Janice Rogers and the Kings Prayer Force faithfully organized the event locally until 2018 when the baton was passed to Kings Christian School. This year’s event is sponsored by the Christian Leaders Network. The 2024 National Day of Prayer will take place outdoors due to repairs at the Civic Auditorium. While some seating will be available, attendees are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs.

The biggest way to help is to PRAY! Pray for our event, but more than that, pray all year long for our community, for our pastors and churches, for our businesses, for our military, for our civic leaders, for our first responders, for our educators and students, and for marriages and families!
The local NDP event is sponsored this year by the Christian Leaders Network, a gathering of local pastors and Christian leaders.
