An Invitation to Provide Invocations
Before Meeting of the
Forsyth County Board of
Commissioners
The religious leaders or chosen leaders of
any assembly that periodically and regu
larly meets in Forsyth County for the pur
pose of worshiping or discussing their
religious perspectives are invited to offer
an invocation before a meeting of the
Forsyth County Board of Commissioners.
Those interested should contact the Clerk
to the Board in writing by e-mail or U.S.
Mail.
The Board generally meets bi-monthly on
Thursdays at 2:00pm, with an additional
meeting in December on the first Monday.
This opportunity is voluntary, and invoca
tion speakers are free to offer the invoca
tion according to the dictates of their own
conscience. The Board requests only that
the prayer opportunity not be exploited as
an effort to convert others to a particular
faith, threaten damnation, nor to disparage
any faith or belief different than that of the
invocational speaker.
