Request/Subject

Proclamation No. 2015-07 - National Day of Prayer.

Background Information

The first Thursday in May has been designated as the National Day of Prayer since 1988. Historically, the Governor of the State of Arizona and the President of the United States each year adopts a proclamation to proclaim the first Thursday in May as the National Day of Prayer. For many years, the Gila County Board of Supervisors has also adopted a proclamation for same.

Evaluation

Each year the Board of Supervisors adopts a proclamation to declare a date certain in May (first Thursday in May) as the National Day of Prayer and encourages all citizens to pray on their own and give thanks for the rich blessings of our County, State and Nation.

This year's theme is "Lord, Hear Our Cry" and the theme verse is 1 Kings 8:28, "Hear the cry and the prayer that your servant is praying in your presence this day."

There are many observances of the National Day of Prayer scheduled for May 7, 2015, in Payson, Pine and the Globe-Miami area.

Conclusion

Jerry Green has agreed to present this proclamation to the Board of Supervisors to proclaim May 7, 2015, as the National Day of Prayer in Gila County.

Recommendation

It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors adopt Proclamation No. 2015-07 to proclaim May 7, 2015, as the National Day of Prayer.

Suggested Motion
