Invitation to Rededicate 250: A National Jubilee of Prayer, Praise, and Thanksgiving
|
For the first time in our lifetime, our President has called America to pray and to rededicate the United States as One Nation Under God.
Join us on the National Mall on Sunday, May 17th, 2026 to worship, pray, and rededicate America. On May 17, 1776, the Second Continental Congress held a day of “prayer, fasting, and humiliation” just weeks before declaring independence on July 4th. Now, exactly 250 years to the day, thousands of Americans will come together in our nation’s capital to give thanks for God’s blessings over the last 250 years—and to ask for his forgiveness, mercy, and guidance as we enter the next 250.
Special guests include Speaker Mike Johnson, Jonathan Roumie, Chris Tomlin, Eric Metaxes, and Sec. Pete Hegseth—as well as dozens of faith leaders and Christian performers (see the list below).
