About Weekend of Prayer
In 2014, First Priority led an initiative to gather parents and community leaders to pray over the campuses of every school in Tennessee. In coordination with this goal, Governor Haslam’s office established a proclamation raising awareness of the event. The results of this one-day event were astonishing.
Due to the profound impact this had on the communities, 3 state leaders asked the Governor to turn this proclamation into a law. After a short deliberation in both the State House and Senate, we are proud to announce that, on April 24, 2015, Governor Haslam signed The Tennessee Weekend of Prayer over Students (#Pray4StudentsTN) into law. Each year, on the first weekend of August, a time of prayer will be dedicated for every school and every student in Tennessee. Each year, #Pray4StudentsTN occurs on the first full weekend of August. First Priority is working with hundreds of churches throughout Tennessee to secure a time and host for every school in the state. The goal is to provide at least one united time of prayer at each school.
This will take hundreds of volunteers and result in thousands of individuals gathering to pray over this 2-day period.
How can you get involved?
Volunteers are needed who will serve as point people at each campus for these times of prayer. Please reach out to our office to learn how tobecome the Prayer Leader for your local school.
With so many local churches in the area, we cannot connect with everyone on our own. Help us spread the word by inviting your church, community group, or local bible study to get involved. Our office is working tirelessly to unite Christians and connect them to their schools of interest for prayer that weekend.
As we get closer to the #Pray4StudentsTN, we will publish times and locations for these gatherings at Pray4StudentsTN.com. We want to welcome you to join us for as many of these meetings as possible.
