Hundreds of thousands of people across the globe will join in the 10th annual World Day of Prayer Thursday, Sept. 11. This event has traditionally been held on the second Thursday of September. World Day of Prayer is an interfaith event open to people of all faiths and walks of life. Its purpose is to unite as many people as possible in prayer for one another. This year’s theme is “Let Go and Let God.” This year’s special prayer, used to help focus people’s minds and hearts is “Centered in Your presence, dear God, I let go of every concern, and my soul awakens to new blessings of Your love and grace.” The Silent Unity prayer ministry in St. Cloud will host a service from 6-7 p.m. at Riverside Park. There will be a “White Stone” ceremony, a message on “Letting Go and Letting God,” a circle of love for prayer request, up beat spiritual music and a Dance of Peace. Silent Unity maintains a 24-hour prayer vigil every day of the year and receives more than two million letters and telephone calls annually. Anyone in need of prayer support may call (800) 669-0282.
