Unity’s 33rd World Day of Prayer is a deeply spiritual and inclusive observance that brings people from around the world together in a shared commitment to affirmative prayer, reflection, and healing.
2026 Theme: Love is Alive
2026 Affirmation: Love leads me. Faith steadies me. Prayer carries me forward.
Wednesday evening is about oneness with our worldwide Unity family. Together at 8 p.m., we will watch the livestreamed Opening Ceremony, with speakers from Silent Unity and the inspiring music of Rev. Michael Gott. Come early for prayer, beverages, treats, and fellowship at 7 p.m.
Thursday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Unity Hall will be transformed into a peaceful sacred space filled with music, candlelight, and flowers. Guests may sit quietly in meditation or participate in activities including a communal art project, sacred prayer circle, guided meditation, or a crystal bowl meditation.
At the heart of the room will be a Manifestation Tree. Visitors will be invited to recognize and enliven the ever-present power of love for themselves, their loved ones, and our world through written affirmations that can then be placed on the tree.
Come for a few moments or remain awhile. Pray, reflect, create, and experience the power of love made alive.
Private prayer with a chaplain will be available the entire time. Fill out a prayer request form at USC or visit
