The religious leaders or chosen leaders of any assembly that periodically worships or regularly meets in Halifax County for the purpose of worshiping or discussing their religious perspectives are invited to offer an invocation before a meeting of the Roanoke Rapids Graded School District Board of Trustees.
The person to provide the invocation is free to offer an invocation to the Board of Trustees according to the dictates of their own conscience. The Board requests only that the purpose of the invocation be to solemnize the occasion and that speakers not promote one faith or belief system over others, disparage other faiths or belief systems, attempt to convert others to the speaker’s faith or belief system, or ask audience members to participate.
If interested, please contact Superintendent Julie Thompson by email at invocation@rrgsd.org or U.S. Mail at 536 Hamilton St., Roanoke Rapids, NC 27870 and provide your name, preferred meeting date, and contact information.
