An Invitation to Provide Invocations Before Meeting of the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners

The religious leaders or chosen leaders of any assembly that meets in Forsyth County for the purpose 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 in providing an invocation may submit their information at http://www.forsyth.cc/commissioners/invocations.aspx, or by contacting the Clerk to the Board at sloopam@forsyth.cc or 336-703-2020. Please provide your name, phone number and assembly location if submitting a request by email.

Invocations may be delivered in person, over the phone or virtually through Microsoft Teams. The Board meets at 2:00 p.m. on Thursdays. The full 2021 meeting schedule can be found at https://forsyth.cc/Commissioners/meeting_schedule.aspx. This opportunity is voluntary, and speakers are free to offer an invocation according to the principles of their own conscience. The Board requests that the prayer opportunity not be exploited as an effort to convert others to the particular faith of the invocational speaker, threaten damnation, nor to disparage any faith or belief different than that of the invocational speaker.
