PROCLAMATION DECLARING MAY 5, 2005, AS NATIONAL DAY OF
PRAYER IN PRIOR LAKE.
Since 1996, the National Day of Prayer has been observed in Prior Lake
through proclamation of the Mayor. Churches and communities throughout the
State participate in this day through various celebrations, prayer vigils, and
other similar events organized to provide education, fellowship and leadership.
In Prior Lake, Connie Perrin is once again organizing the event. This year,
Lakefront Park Pavilion will be the site of a community prayer service on May
5, from 7 - 8 p.m. All Prior Lake area residents are invited to attend.
In these difficult times of world unrest and increased concern for security at
home, it seems appropriate for the Council to endorse the participation of Prior
Lake residents in a National Day of Prayer.
Attached is a Proclamation, to be read by mayor Haugen, designating May 5,
2005, as National Day of Prayer in Prior Lake.

Dear Mayor Haugen,
May 5th will mark the 54th annual National Day of Prayer. The Prior Lake prayer service
will once again be held at the Lakefront Pavilion from 7-8pm. 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, including the city officials, to participate. We
would also like to extend an invitation to you to read the proclamation at that service.
We hope that your schedule will allow you to attend.
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 .... '(1 Timothy 2:1-2a).
The theme this year is "God shed His grace on thee", based on Hebrews 4' 16. 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,
Connie Perrin
