National Day of Prayer event planned

The Carroll County Ministerial Association will host the county’s annual observance of The National Day of Prayer May 6 on Public Square in Carrollton.
Community residents are invited to gather on Public Square (rain location: First Presbyterian Church, 200 N. Lisbon Street) to lift communities and the country in prayer. Community members will read scripture from 11 to 11:50 a.m. with the formal program to begin at noon.
Anyone with a need for personal prayer can meet with National Day of Prayer officials following the event, who will pray with them. Those planning to attend are encouraged to bring a folding chair if they wish to sit during the program.
The National Day of Prayer is an annual observance held on the first Thursday of May, inviting people of all faiths to pray for the nation. It was created in 1952 by a joint resolution of Congress and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman.
