Final preparations underway for National Day of Prayer
Final preparations are now being put in place for tomorrow’s National Day of Prayer.
The Cabinet made the decision late last month.
It will be observed annually on the second Thursday of September. To preserve the sanctity of the observance, Cabinet also approved a ban on the sale and consumption of alcohol on that day, from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
The day begins at 6:00 am with prayer services across all congregations, followed by media devotions and prayers every half hour from 8:00 am to 10:00 am.
A March of Witness from the Multipurpose Cultural and Exhibition Centre to the Antigua Recreation Grounds is set for the afternoon between 1:00 pm and 3:00 pm.
Proceedings will conclude with a National Prayer Service at the ARG from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm.
The event is under the theme “Acknowledging Our Dependence on God.
