  National Day of Prayer & Mayor's Prayer Breakfast - May 3, 2012
                                                            
The National Day of Prayer is Significant

The National Day of Prayer has great significance for us as a nation. It enables us to recall and to teach the way in which our founding fathers sought the wisdom of God when faced with critical decisions. It stands as a call to us to humbly come before God, seeking His guidance for our leaders and His grace upon us as a people. The unanimous passage of the bill establishing the National Day of Prayer as an annual event, signifies that prayer is as important to our nation today as it was in the beginning.

Like Thanksgiving or Christmas, this day has become a national observance placed on all Hallmark calendars and observed annually across the nation and in Washington, D.C. Last year, local, state and federal observances were held from sunrise in Maine to sunset in Hawaii, uniting Americans from all socio-economic, political and ethnic backgrounds in prayer for our nation. It is estimated that over two million people attended more than 30,000 observances organized by approximately 40,000 volunteers. At state capitols, county court houses, on the steps of city halls, and in schools, businesses, churches and homes, people stopped their activities and gathered for prayer.

The National Day of Prayer is Ours

The National Day of Prayer belongs to all Americans. It is a day that transcends differences, bringing together citizens from all backgrounds.
This year is the 61st Annual observance of the National Day of Prayer and this year's theme is "One Nation Under God." 

The Council Bluffs Mayor's Prayer Breakfast is held in conjunction with the National Day of Prayer.  This is our 18th annual Prayer Breakfast, and each year hundreds of Council Bluffs' citizens meet together for an inspirational message, corporate prayer and the reading of Scripture.

We will meet at 6:30 AM on the first Thursday in May at the Hoy-Kilnoski Funeral Home, 1221 N. 16th St.  The event is hosted by Mayor Tom Hanafan in partnership with Christ For the City International.

The morning will include a continental breakfast, music, inspirational speaker and times of prayer.
