**PRAYERS FOR THE COUNTRY –** *The Rev. Sonya Redd reads a prayer during the Franklin Township Interfaith Coalition’s observance of the National Day of Prayer May 1 in Veterans Memorial Park.*

Members of Franklin Township’s faith-based community gathered at Veterans Memorial Park on DeMott Lane on May 1 for the annual observance of the National Day of Prayer.

The observance was officially created in 1988, when Congress passed a law calling on the president to issue a proclamation designating the first Thursday of May as the National Day of Prayer, and calling upon all Americans to “turn to God in prayer and meditation at churches, in groups, and as individuals.”
