65TH ANNUAL NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER TO BE
HELD IN ANSONIA
Event
Scheduled for Thursday, May 5, 2016, 6:00pm-7:30pm
ANSONIA- We invite all who have a love
for the Lord Jesus Christ and wish to pray for our nation, to join us for the
Judeo-Christian expression of the 65th annual National Day of Prayer,
to be held on Thursday, May 5, 2016.
Valley residents and their families are invited to answer the call of
prayer from 6:00pm to 7:30pm at Veteran’s Memorial Park,
located adjacent to Ansonia City Hall at 253 Main Street.
The National Day of Prayer is an expression of the
Judeo-Christian faith that was first designated in 1952. The theme for 2016 is Wake Up America, emphasizing the need for individuals, corporately
and individually, to return to the God of Fathers in reverence for His Holy
Name.
To further highlight this theme, event organizers have
chosen Isaiah 58:1a as our Scripture for this year: “Shout it aloud, do not hold back. Raise your voice like a trumpet.”
The prayer for the nation was written by Dr. Tony Evans, 2016 Honorary Chairman,
and will be read at each prayer event occurring across the country.
The main purpose of this event is to be in one accord as we
repent, intercede, ask forgiveness, and seek God’s wisdom. We will be praying
for the Seven Centers of Influence:
Government, Military, Media, Business, Education, Church, Family, and we
have added Israel. The Governor’s Proclamation for the National Day of Prayer
will be read by the Honorable David Cassetti, Mayor of Ansonia.
Prayer gatherings will take place all day and evening
throughout our nation. Last year there were more than 43,000. This is a
privilege and responsibility for every believer, especially in these critical
times, no matter who we are or what position we hold. It is time to seek the
Lord.
This is the fifth year that we will be holding the National
Day of Prayer observance in Ansonia. We are so grateful that each year we have
been honored to have Clergy and congregants from local churches, city
officials, police, veterans, emergency responders, and so many others, make
time to pray with us.
The National Day of Prayer will take place rain or shine
(believing for “shine”). We hope you and
your family will mark your calendar and join us this year!
