The National Day of Prayer is an annual observance in the United States designated by the U.S. Congress, inviting people of all faiths to pray according to their own traditions. Established in 1952 and updated in 1988, it typically occurs on the first Thursday of May.
While recognizing that this observance has historically had strong Christian participation, the City of Lynnwood encourages our community to embrace religious pluralism in all observances. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where people of all spiritual beliefs, or none at all, feel welcomed and respected. Our goal is to ensure that no community member feels marginalized or excluded based on their faith tradition or philosophical perspective.
