INVITATION TO OFFER INVOCATION

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN it is the policy of the assembly to allow for an invocation, which may include a short prayer or a solemnizing message, to be offered at the beginning of its meetings for the benefit of the assembly to accommodate the spiritual needs of the public officials.

The invocation shall be voluntarily delivered by a resident of the Kenai Peninsula Borough. A person wishing to give an invocation must submit a dated written request to the clerk’s office. Below is the submission form.

If approved, the respondents to this notice shall be scheduled on a first-come, first-serve basis to deliver the invocation, provided each respondent may only ask to provide one invocation at a time, with subsequent requests only made after the date of the previously scheduled invocation has passed. No respondent shall be scheduled to offer an invocation at consecutive assembly meetings or at more than four assembly meetings in any calendar year.

The Assembly requests by the language of its policy that no invocation should proselytize or advance any faith, or disparage the religious faith or non-religious views of others.

Please read the KPB Assembly Invocation Policy for additional information.
