Annual Prayer

annual big events can serve as ignition events to begin and build momentum in a prayer movement.  The two events most utilized are See You At The Pole which is always the third Wednesday of September and the National Day of Prayer which is the first Thursday in May.  These two can form great bookends to a school year or launching pads for the school year and the summer respectively.  The advantages to partnering with other churches in your community are obvious so use some of the resources below or get creative and plan a unique event.
