Hagerstown Area Religious Council
The Hagerstown Area Religious Council (HARC) is a coalition of churches and houses of faith in the Hagerstown area of Washington County.
Every year, young people (K through College) from area churches and youth organizations gather at Baker Park with their friends and families to participate in the Youth Prayer Rally, which observes the National Day of Prayer on the first Thursday in May.
The National Day of Prayer is an annual observance inviting people to pray for the nation. It was created in 1952 by Congress, and its purpose is to communicate with every individual the need for personal repentance and prayer, and to mobilize the Christian community to intercede for America and its elected officials.
The Youth Prayer Rally consists of Prayer, Praise & Worship, Testimonies, Live Music, Liturgical Dance, Fellowship, Food, and Giveaways!
The Youth Prayer Rally is also an evangelistic opportunity to reach the unsaved and the unchurched.
We hope to see you there! All ages welcome!

Join us for HARC’s annual ecumenical Good Friday Unity Walk in memory of Christ’s passion and death. Walk begins in the gazebo adjacent to the Museum parking lot and ends at the “grotto.” There will be 7 stops with scripture readings and dramatic dialogue, music, and call-and-response songs between the stops.
