DAY OF PRAYER - November 3, 2005
National Day of Prayer tradition predates the birth of
the United States of America when the Continental Congress issued a
proclamation setting aside a day of prayer in 1775. In 1952, Congress
established an annual day of prayer. That law was amended, designating
the National Day of Prayer as the First Thursday in May.
National Women’s Day of Prayer will be observed in
Calhoun County at First Baptist Church, Grantsville, on Friday, Nov. 7.
The church will be open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. for personal prayer.
Everyone is welcome. Come as you are and when you can to join in prayer.
We have many prayer needs, in our county, state, nation and world. By
uniting in prayer as a nation, we can avail ourselves of the guidance
that only comes from God.
People everywhere can be a part of the hope and healing
of our world.

This is the month of Thanksgiving. Let us open our
hearts in prayer and giving to our fellow citizens.
