DAY OF PRAYER
To commemorate the annual National Day of Prayer, people of different
faiths will meet at noon today in front of Hollywood City Hall, 2600
Hollywood Blvd. Similar activities are being planned for other locations
in South Florida and around the country.
The City Hall event is being organized by the Inter-Faith Council of
Greater Hollywood. It will include a presentation of colors by Hollywood
police officers, followed by a group singing of The Star-Spangled
Banner.
Hollywood Mayor Mara Guilianti will give a proclamation to the
Inter-Faith Council, and children of various religions will offer
prayers.
``Our theme will be how to make the world a better place to live,''
said the Inter-Faith Council's president, Nosrat Scott, a member of the
Bahai faith who lives in Pembroke Pines. ``No matter what our religion,
we all agree on that. We have to work together and do our share to make
it better. We have a duty to improve conditions for future
generations.''
For more information, call 432-6578 after 9 a.m.
