In 1988\, the law was amended and signed by President Reagan\, permanently setting the day as the first Thursday of every May. Each year\, the president signs a proclamation\, encouraging all Americans to pray on this day. \n“For You are my lamp\, LORD; and the LORD illuminates my darkness. For by You I can run at a troop of warriors; by my God I can leap over a wall. As for God\, His way is blameless; the word of the LORD is refined; He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.” –2 Samuel 22:29–31 URL:https://firstdallas.org/event/national-day-of-prayer/2024-05-02/ LOCATION:Truett Chapel CATEGORIES:Churchwide ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://firstdallas.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/NatlDayOfPrayer2024_h.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20240504T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20240504T140000 DTSTAMP:20260509T033629 CREATED:20240306T183920Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240417T170711Z UID:33726-1714820400-1714831200@firstdallas.org SUMMARY:Cinco de Mayo Family Fiesta DESCRIPTION:Kick off the spring with a fun lawn party and Cinco de Mayo Family Fiesta in Exall Park on Saturday\, May 4 at 11am!
