National Day Of Prayer On Thursday May 02, 2013

Americans have long turned to prayer both in times of joy and times of sorrow. On their voyage to the New World, the earliest settlers prayed that they would “rejoice together, mourn together, labor, and suffer together, always having before our eyes our commission and community in the work.“ From that day forward, Americans have prayed as a means of uniting, guiding, and healing. In times of hardship and tragedy, and in periods of peace and prosperity, prayer has provided reassurance, sustenance, and affirmation of common purpose.

Prayer brings communities together and can be a wellspring of strength and support. In the aftermath of senseless acts of violence, the prayers of countless Americans signal to grieving families and a suffering community that they are not alone. Their pain is a shared pain, and their hope a shared hope. Regardless of religion or creed, Americans reflect on the sacredness of life and express their sympathy for the wounded, offering comfort and holding up a light in an hour of darkness.

All of us have the freedom to pray and exercise our faiths openly. Our laws protect these God-given liberties, and rightly so. Today and every day, prayers will be offered in houses of worship, at community gatherings, in our homes, and in neighborhoods all across our country. Let us give thanks for the freedom to practice our faith as we see fit, whether individually or in fellowship.

On this day, let us remember in our thoughts and prayers all those affected by recent events, such as the Boston Marathon bombings, the Newtown, Connecticut shootings, and the explosion in West, Texas. Let us pray for the police officers, firefighters, and other first responders who put themselves in harm’s way to protect their fellow Americans. Let us also pray for the safety of our brave men and women in uniform and their families who serve and sacrifice for our country. Let us come together to pray for peace and goodwill today and in the days ahead as we work to meet the great challenges of our time.

The Congress, by Public Law 100-307, as amended, has called on the President to issue each year a proclamation designating the first Thursday in May as a “National Day of Prayer.“

NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim May 02, 2013, as a National Day of Prayer. I join the citizens of our Nation in giving thanks, in accordance with our own faiths and consciences, for our many freedoms and blessings, and in asking for God’s continued guidance, mercy, and protection.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of May, in the year of our Lord two thousand thirteen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-seventh.

Newest Marthas and Marys Project - Book Drive for Gilmer County Kids - Deadline Tomorrow

Help our Gilmer County kids succeed by giving them books.  Children need good food for their bodies to grow and good books for their brains to grow.  They must have the stimulation of reading.  Children who are not comprehending what they read in the third grade will continue to fall behind in all learning if they are not helped.  Our teachers are not the only people responsible for their learning.  We must encourage our children to read and make sure that they have their own books at home.  We also must be good models for them by letting them see us enjoy reading.

Marthas and Marys and area churches are sponsoring this effort to help our children learn. This week you will see large plastic bins in several Gilmer County public places where you can donate books to our Gilmer County children. Books may be new or gently used which means they have a front and back cover and no missing or torn pages, and are clean.  No damp or musty books please. The goal is to allow all 934 Gilmer County students from pre-school through grade 12 to choose a book to take home.  Your help is needed to accomplish that goal.

Books may be nursery rhymes, story books, short stories, biographies, poetry, novels, plays, how-to books, and books of general information.  Subject matter could be about every-day people today, nature, science, sports, other countries, periods in history, pets, architecture, heroes, how people live,  travel, music, arts, crafts, repairs and how-to, technology, machines and inventions, cars, trucks, and motorcycles, bicycles, cook books, and the list could go on and on.

You will see marked bins in the following businesses where you can help our children grow by donating books for them. Marthas and Marys appreciate the participation of:

•  Calhoun Bank, Foodland

•  Gil-Co Faith Pharmacy

•  Glenville Go-Mart

•  Glenville Public Library

•  Glenville Post Office

•  Hands of Pride Education Center

•  McDonald’s

•  United Bank

•  Watch Me Grow Child Care Development

In addition, there will be book collection bins at the following schools:

•  Gilmer County High

•  Glenville Elementary

•  Normantown Elementary

•  Sand Fork Elementary

•  Troy Elementary

All churches who participate in the ecumenical work of Marthas and Marys will also have book collection bins.  Our children are waiting for your donations.

Collection bins will be in place through Tuesday, April 30, 2013.
