In 1952, Congress established the National Day of Prayer as an annual event signed into law by President Harry S. Truman.  In 1988, President Ronald Reagan designated the first Thursday in May to be set aside as the National Day of Prayer.  Today, towns across the United States observe this day through prayer events, Bible reading events, and special calls to prayer for people of all faiths.  The prayers generally focus on local and nationwide leaders, schools, businesses, families, military and churches.  This year's emphasis is on the unity of all people of this nation.  The scriptural reference comes from Ephesians 4:3, "Making every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace."

People of faith believe that God works through our prayers, sometimes in unexplained ways, on those who pray and on those who are being prayed for.  I encourage all praying people to take the time to pray for our country sometime on Thursday, May 3.  The Kosse community plans to observe the National Day of Prayer by gathering at First United Methodist Church pavilion at 7:00 that evening.  The brief prayer time is to be led by local religious and community leaders.  Following the service, participants may enjoy sandwiches, chips and cookies.  The church is located at 305 W. Monroe, facing Highway 14.
