National Friendship Day
August 4, 2024 @ 8:00 am – 5:00 pm EDT
Think of all your good friends and consider bringing one to our morning prayer service on National Friendship Day.
In 1935, Congress designated the first Sunday in August as National Friendship Day. In 1998, the United Nations named Winnie the Pooh as the world’s Ambassador of Friendship.
National Friendship Day is a special time to recognize and appreciate friends who enrich us with their presence, love, and support. It is an opportunity to reconnect with old friends, make new ones, and reflect on the roles friends play in contributing to our happiness and personal growth.
“A day without a friend is like a pot without a single drop of honey left inside.” — Winnie the Pooh
