May 5 is National Day of Prayer

I ByGLENLONG Staff Writer The 35th consecutive observance of the National Day of Prayer will be on Thursday, May 5. In 1952, Both houses of Congress, by joint approval, called upon the President to set aside a day each year as a National Day of Prayer. For 35 consecutive years, a day has been proclaimed and observed as a time for intercession and petition on behalf of our nation and its leaders. National days of prayer have been a part of our country’s heritage since the first one was declared by the Continental Congress in 1775. Through the influence of General George Washington and many other founding fathers, prayer became an essential foundation stone in the establishment of our nation. In his 1987 National Day of

Prayer proclamation, President Reagan wrote, “On our National Day of Prayer, then, we join together as people of many faiths to petition God to show us His mercy and His love, to heal our weariness and uphold our hope, that we might live ever mindful of His justice and (be) thankful • for His blessing.” Ray Shanklin, pastor of Freedom Chapel in Syracuse, when asked about this day, said, “I think it’s an excellent thing. We, as a people, should follow the Word of God. It’s very important that God’s people pray for this land. He tells us to do that in II Chronicles 7:14, which reads, ‘lf my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.’ ” Paul Tinkeil, pastor of Milford . Church of the Brethren, com-

this delightful event at either the 8:30 or 10:30 a.m. worship service at the church, located on SR 13 in south Syracuse. The Calvary Kids program will also be presented to the residents of Miller’s Merry Manor in Syracuse on Friday, May 6. Pictured from the left in front are Jenny Marty, Beth Liberti, Chris Thornton (seated), Tiffany Miller, Laura Grothaus and Wendee Morse. Standing in the second row from the left are Caroline Weiss, Tami Miller, Jenny Eades, Leslie Garner, Alyson Mills, Erin Thornton, Elizabeth Ringler, Amy Pritchard, Carrie Grothaus, Jamee Morse, Brian Schwartz, Andrew Thornburg, Cliff Schwartz, Jeff Hodgson and Wes Lantz.

mented, “There needs to be more emphasis on prayer. I feel it’s good to awaken the nation once a year, but we really need it daily rather than annually.” The National Day of Prayer is non-partisan and non-sectarian. In 1982 the National Prayer Committee established a task force to promote this historical day. The task force has no political affiliation, receives no remuneration and does not claim ownership of the National Day of Prayer. It is made up of men and women who desire to make citizens aware of their responsibility to pray for our nation. Members of the task force urge all citizens to unite in observing National Day of Prayer by acknowledging our dependence on God; recognizing our need for personal and corporate renewal of moral values; seeking God’s guidance for our nation’s governmental and community leaders; giving thanks for the many bless-

ings our country has received from Him through the years; pledging ourselves to the restoration of marriage and family commitments and interceding for healing and reconciliation within our nation. Bashor Home Auxiliary to meet May 9 Bashor Home Auxiliary will meet in Arbogast Center, Bashor Home, Goshen, on Monday, May 9. Coffee will be served at 9:15 a.m. by the women of Trinity United Methodist Church, Elkhart. The speaker will be Steve Ross, resident director of Bashor Home.
