Editor,

We want to thank all in the communities of Langley, Coupeville and Oak Harbor who participated in the 63rd Annual National Day of Prayer observances held on May 1.

Our theme this year was “One Voice United in Prayer,” and we truly felt blessed to be able to do this.

We want to thank Pastor Mark Hanson and the Concordia Lutheran Church for hosting the morning prayer time.

We are especially grateful for all the public officials, media representatives, pastors, educators, military and business leaders who took time from their busy schedules to join with us in praying for our nation, communities and families.

For the great weather, we are grateful to our great and awesome God.
