National Day of Prayer

IT IS LAW!
§ 119. National Day of Prayer
The President shall issue each year a proclamation designating the first Thursday in May as a National Day of Prayer on which the people of the United States may turn to God in prayer and meditation at churches, in groups, and as individuals.

In 1952 a law was passed requiring the president to set aside a day of his choosing for prayer and in 1988 a law was passed in both houses and signed by President Reagan setting the first Thursday in May as the National day of Prayer. More than anything else God wants us to communicate with Him and we do this through prayer, for our world, nation, homes and family and in thanksgiving. Prayer is the most powerful weapon available to bring God's blessing to our country. Please plan to join me as we celebrate this
opportunity to join together with pastors and others at noon on Thursday, May 3rd at the bandstand in Weaverville to ask Gods covering and blessing for the United States. This is organized by the Trinity County Ministerial Association.

May God continue to bless you all, Judy Smallwood, Chaplain
