NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER—Thursday, May 4, 2017
National Day of Prayer calls on all people of different faiths in the United States to pray for the nation
and its leaders. It is held on the first Thursday of May each year . In 1775 the Continental Congress allocated a time for prayer in forming a new nation. Over the years, there have been calls for a day of
prayer, including from President Abraham Lincoln in 1863. On April 17, 1952, President Harry Truman
signed a bill proclaiming the National Day of Prayer into law in the United States. President Reagan
amended the law in 1988, designating the first Thursday of May each year as National Day of Prayer .

outdoor games.

THANK YOU!

A special thank you to everyone who prepared for and/or participated in
Grandma Jennie's Memorial Service and the wonderful reception that followed in the Parish Hall.
The fruits of your labors were of great comfort to our entire family.
Sincerely, Sandy Pruessner and John Motto
Dear St. David's Family:
We wanted to send a sincerely heartfelt Thank You to this wonderful and supportive church family. Our
church, St. David's, was the largest group that attended the RVHS play of any group that attended (a total
of 31!). Thank you again for spending a few hours with us and supporting both Illia and David. We have
the best church family.
Thank you again,
Tina & Yan Dia
Cast Members—David Tillotson & Illia Dia

Did you know?
The sentence "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" uses every letter in the
English alphabet.
And, the Hawaiian alphabet only has 13 letters: five vowels (long and short) and eight
consonants, one of them being a glottal stop (called ?okina in Hawaiian).
