NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER 4/23/25 Churches
within the Clay City School District will be leading in prayer and music on the
74th Annual National Day of Prayer, Thursday, May 1st at 7pm
at the Clay City First Baptist Church. The
National Day of Prayer is a vital part of America’s heritage and is as relevant
and critical today as it was at the first call by our Continental Congress in
1775. Established in public law by a joint resolution of Congress, signed
by President Truman in 1952, then amended to designate the day under the 100th
Congress and President Reagan in 1988, it states that: “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.” Everyone
is welcome, for additional information, please contact Clay City Area NDP
Coordinator, Pat Burt (618-676-1783).
