THE FOLLOWING IS AN OFFICE OF ILLINOIS HOUSE REPUBLICANS RELEASE
Today, Thursday, May 2, 2024, is the National Day of Prayer — an occasion observed typically on the first Thursday in May in the U.S. This year is the 73rd such day of prayer. This year’s theme is “Lift up the Word, Light up the World.”
At a time of strife and stress, many believe there is a very strong need for prayer right now. On the floor of the Illinois House of Representatives, 104th District State Representative Brandun Schweizer (R-Danville) rose to comment on the importance of the day.
