 The
National Day of Prayer (NDP) is an event deeply rooted in our country's
history. The concept of setting aside time to pray for the nation
and it's leaders originated with America's founding fathers. It was
the First Continental Congress which initially declared a national
day of prayer in 1775. In 1952, congress passed a federal statute
recognizing a National Day of Prayer. In 1988 President Ronald Reagan
signed a law setting aside the first Thursday in May as the date on
which the National Day of Prayer is officially observed. Across the
State of Connecticut and across our nation, people gather to seek
God's face for the healing of our land. The Connecticut NDP Task Force
works with volunteers each year who coordinate an NDP observance in
their area. Please prayerfully consider joining in our efforts to
unite together on the first Thursday in May.
