NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER – MAY 7, 2026

One Day. One Body. One United Prayer.

On May 7th, the body of Christ across Greater Charlotte is coming together, not in one place, but everywhere, to cover our city in prayer.

Instead of one large gathering, FORCLT is mobilizing churches, organizations, and individuals to pray wherever they are. From sanctuaries to living rooms, office desks to coffee shops, if you’re praying for Charlotte, you’re part of the movement.

Every participant receives a shared prayer guide with four focused prayers for our city. We encourage everyone to pray at 12:00 PM noon for a synchronized moment of unity across the city. But pray whenever it works for you; the important thing is that you pray.

“Tell of His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all the peoples.”
1 Chronicles 16:24 — 2026 National Day of Prayer Theme

3. Pray on May 7th. At noon with the rest of the city, or whenever works for your community. Use the prayer guide or pray however the Lord leads.
