ROCKWALL COUNTY, TX (April 23, 2014) The City of Rockwall will host the Mayors’ Prayer Breakfast on Thursday, May 1, 2014 at 7:30 am at The Center in Downtown Rockwall, 108 E. Washington Street in conjunction with the annual National Day of Prayer. Mayors from cities in Rockwall County will be in attendance. The theme of this year’s event is “One Voice United In Prayer.”
“This event is a wonderful opportunity for our community to come together in prayer for our country and each other,” said Rockwall Mayor David Sweet. No matter what your religious affiliation or beliefs, I hope everyone will plan to participate in one of these uplifting occasions.”
There will be two other opportunities for the community to come together in prayer on May 1st:
* Community Noontime Prayer: 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the grounds of Rockwall City Hall, 385 S. Goliad Street. Prayers will be offered by pastors and community leaders.
* Evening Prayer and Worship: 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. at Harry Myers Park Amphitheatre, 815 E. Washington Street (East Entrance). Worship and prayer for focused on youth and young adults.
The first Continental Congress called for a National Day of Prayer in 1775 as did Abraham Lincoln in 1863. Congress established National Day of Prayer as an annual event by joint resolution signed by President Truman in 1952. The law was amended and signed by President Reagan to officially designate the first Thursday in May as the official date. The events are not political, but rather meant to encourage people county-wide to join their neighbors in a call to pray for our nation as our national leaders will do in Washington D.C.
There is no charge for the Rockwall Mayors’ Prayer Breakfast but donations will be accepted.
