Summary 

 

Thursday, May 1, 2025, is the National Day of Prayer. An event will be conducted at the Oklahoma State Capitol, 2300 N. Lincoln Blvd., by a National Day of Prayer Task Force (NDPTF) team. This is a statewide gathering. 

Activities will begin at 9 a.m. and conclude at 4 p.m. There will be two programs. A “by invitation” Governor’s Blue Room Proclamation Ceremony and an “open to public” 2nd Floor Rotunda Prayer Gathering. There will be a “Coworkers Appreciation and Debriefing Meal” in Room 100 Immediately following the Prayer Gathering.  

Room 100 will also serve as a back-up site for the Proclamation Ceremony should the Blue Room become unavailable, and as a “break room” for coworkers.

This year’s event promotional focus will be on the believers working in the Capitol Building and the surrounding Capitol Hill agencies, and intercessory prayer networks. 

The brief Blue Room Event will consist of shofar and pledges, the Proclamation reading, and brief prayers by the Governor, ranking legislators, and special guests. Due to limited seating, it will be invitation only to coworkers, cooperating Christian legislators, other elected heads, and various community leaders.  

The 2nd Floor Rotunda Event will feature Guest Pray-ers, primarily believers from the legislative ranks and staff, other agency heads and their staffs, and various community leaders. Special worship and background music, and periods of group prayer will occur at intervals throughout the 120-minute session.  In addition to audience seating, round tables will be set up to accommodate intercessory prayer groups. Tables will be set up for refreshments and as Display Tables for Ministry Partners.   

Room 100 and the adjoining conference room will serve as headquarters and staging area for resources prior to its utilization as a backup site and Meal location.
