How Great Is Our GodMay 5th marked National Day of Prayer.
Area Church Representatives gathered with the community for the 60th Annual Observance of National Prayer Day.

Prayer has always been used in this country for guidance, protection and strength-even before we were a nation or a handful of colonies. The Pilgrims at Plymouth relied on prayer during their first and darkest winter. Our founding fathers also called for prayer during the Constitutional Congress. In their eyes, our recently created nation and freedoms were a direct gift from God. And being a gift from God, there was only one way to insure protection-through prayer.
> The ceremony was held at the Bay County building located at Madison and Center Avenue Streets in Downtown Bay City.
"Fasting and prayer are religious exercises; the enjoining them an act of discipline. Every religious society has a right to determine for itself the time for these exercises and the objects proper for them, according th their own particular tenets; and right can never be safer than in their hands, where the Constitution has deposited it." ~ Thomas Jefferson 1808
