Thousands of people will join Silent Unity—an international, transdenominational 24/7 prayer ministry—and Unity churches around the world on Thursday, September 9, 2010 for the 17th annual Unity World Day of Prayer. This year’s theme is “Living in the Flow,” and the prayer or affirmation is “We are living expressions of Divine light flowing forth into the world.”

Unity of the Lakes in West Branch, Michigan will hold a local prayer and meditation service in honor of this worldwide prayer event. All are invited to join in this time of prayer and meditation and to submit prayer requests to be held in prayer that day. Prayer requests can be made online at unitylakes.org or submitted at the prayer service.

“This meaningful event is an opportunity for us to make a positive difference in the community and to foster healing and wholeness through prayer,” said Rev. Eileen Patra. “World Day of Prayer also gives us a chance to recognize and celebrate our oneness with Spirit, each other and our world.”

Unity World Day of Prayer involves people of all faiths joining in prayer for the health and well-being of the world as well as one another. In addition, each year, millions of individual names are submitted for prayer. Unity believes World Day of Prayer is an opportunity to transform individual lives and the world through prayer.
