“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray…” — 2 Chronicles 7:1
Come together as one body across our community and beyond for 12 hours of prayer on the National Day of Prayer. We will pray together at the start of every hour from 7am – 7 pm on Thursday, May 7, 2026.
We invite other churches to join us in prayer. Join together in your church, join us at First Baptist of Shallotte, or remind your congregation to pray where ever they are.
FBCS will have organized prayer at the start of every hour. Everyone who believes in the power of prayer is welcome to come pray with us.
We challenge each church, ministry, and believer to commit to starting each hour in focused, intentional prayer. Pray wherever you are—home, church, workplace, or gathered with others .
