75th National Day of Prayer on May 7, 2026 at Historic Courthouse Steps in Downtown Dandridge

Join communities across the nation in observing the 75th National Day of Prayer on Thursday, May 7, 2026, with a public gathering on the front steps of the Historic Jefferson County Courthouse in Downtown Dandridge. The event begins at noon and is open to all residents, churches, civic groups, and visitors who wish to participate.

This year’s observance centers on unified prayer for the nation — lifting up our country, neighbors, law enforcement officers, national leaders, and members of the military, among others. Organizers emphasize that the gathering is meant to bring the community together in a spirit of hope, humility, and shared purpose.

The theme is reflected in the selected scripture, 1 Chronicles 16:24:
“Declare his glory among the heathens; his glorious works among all nations.”

Residents are encouraged to attend, pause from the day’s routine, and join neighbors in prayer for the nation and its future.
