Proclamations

Each year the National Bible Association works hard to gain the participation of Mayors and Governors across the country to make available proclamations in support of National Bible Week.

Join the cause in raising Bible awareness by contacting your Mayor and Governor and asking them to issue a National Bible Week Proclamation. Don’t know what to say? Then contact Rose Ann at RBeni@NationalBible.org for guidelines in reaching out to National leaders and encouraging them to proclaim Bible reading!

Discover what Mayors and Governors said in the past about National Bible Week!
