PROCLAMATION NO. 2011-04
MAY 5,2011 AS DAY OF PRAYER IN TROPHY CLUB
WHEREAS, public prayer and national days of prayer have a long-standing and
significant history in American tradition since the first call to prayer in 1775 when the
Continental Congress asked the colonies to pray for wisdom in forming a nation; and
WHEREAS, in 1952 the Congress of the United States by a joint resolution
enacted legislation setting aside an annual day of prayer for the nation, and in 19S5 this
law was amended permanently setting the day as the first Thursday of every May; and
WHEREAS, the National Oay of Prayer has great significance for us as a nation,
enabling us to recall and teach the way in which our forefathers sought the wisdom of
God when faced with critical decisions, thus reaffirming the spiritual principles upon
which this nation was founded; and
WHEREAS, in these trying times, when the world is so unsettled and when so
many brave citizens of the United States are far from home, making great sacrifices for
those abroad and those here at home, prayer becomes all the more meaningful and
important; and
WHEREAS, this year is the 60 th anniversary of the consecutive annual
observance of the National Day of Prayer, and its theme is "A MIGHTY FORTRESS IS
OUR GOO" based on Psalm 91 :2; and
WHEREAS, on this day Americans across our nation and state will unite and
heed the call to humbly come before God, to acknowledge our dependency upon Him
and give Him thanks for the many blessings we have received from Him, and to seek
His guidance for our leaders and His grace and protection upon us as a people and a
nation;
NOW, THEREFORE, I Connie White, in conjunction with the Town Council of
the Town of Trophy Club, Texas by the Power vested in me as Mayor of Trophy Club,
hereby proclaim Thursday, May 5, 2011, as a OA Y OF PRAYER in Trophy Club to
coincide with the NATIONAL OAY OF PRAYER and that this proclamation shall take
effect from and after its date of passage, in accordance with law; and it is so
proclaimed.
