What the county recorded
This item is not from the published agenda
It is a stretch of the recording that this archive identified as a separate matter — a call to order, a recess, or something taken up that the agenda does not list. There is no official title, no staff recommendation and no disposition, because the county never recorded one. Everything below is inferred.

All right. Uh a resolution by the Board of County Commissioners of Pasco County, Florida, observing Thursday, May 2nd, 2024 as the National Day of Prayer in Pasco County. Whereas the National Day of Prayer is an event deeply rooted in our country's history dating back to the first Continental Congress in seventeen seventy-five. In nineteen fifty two, Congress passed a joint resolution recognizing a national day of prayer. In nineteen eighty eight, P
President Ronald Reagan signed a law setting aside the first Thursday of May as the date on which the National Day of Prayer is officially observed. And whereas the National Day of Prayer unites Americans from all socioeconomic, political, and ethnic backgrounds in prayer for our nation. This diversity was intended by Congress when it designated the National Day of Prayer. not that every faith and creed would be homogenized,
but that all who sought to pray for this nation would be encouraged to do so in any manner deemed appropriate. And whereas, during this important time in our nation's history, we continue to give thanks and pray for the brave members of our armed forces who are defending our freedom and their families. We humbly ask God for their protection. for the recovery of the wounded. and for peace throughout the world, which we all seek. And whereas on Thursday, May 2nd,
2024, Americans will unite all over the country in prayer for our nation, state, and local communities, giving thanks for the many blessings we have received and asking for protection and blessings upon our nation and our nation's leaders. Now therefore be it resolved by the Board of County Commissioners of Pasco County, Florida, that said Board hereby observes Thursday, May 2nd, 2024 as a national day of prayer and encourages all citizens to join in observing
this day with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities. Done and resolved in regular session with a quorum present in voting this twenty-third day of April 2024.
