Dear Mr. Boyles,
May 4th will mark the 49th annual National Day of Prayer. Minnesota Valley
Community Church will once again be hosting the prayer service for Prior Lake at 7pm.
As in past years, we are asking that the city officials issue a proclamation recognizing the
importance of prayer and call upon the residents of Prior Lake to participate. We would
also like to extend an invitation to City council members to attend the service.
God has been faithful to Prior Lake in the past years. He has provided wisdom for our
leadership when called upon. He has blessed the citizens with peace and prosperity, but
there is still much to bring before God in prayer. We are 'urged to fIrst of all pray, make
requests, intercede, and give thanksgiving on behalf of everyone-for kings and all those
in authority....'(l Timothy 2:1-2a).
Our theme this year is "PRA Y2K, America's Hope for the New Millennium" and is base
on Romans 12:12, where we read: "Be joyful in hope, patient in afflictions, faithful in
prayer." As we enter a new century, prayer is our greatest hope-not just on one special
day a year, but every day of our lives. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
~
