Invocation Lottery Opens for the City of Coeur d’Alene

The City Council took action at its August 16, 2022 meeting to allow non-profit faith-based organizations located within the city limits to participate in giving an invocation at a City Council meeting. This year’s registration only provided enough volunteers for half the year of Council meeting dates. Mayor McEvers stated that “the City appreciates the history of the invocation and fully supports opening up the opportunity to all faiths; however, we need additional volunteers to demonstrate their passion for this service.”  Therefore, registration will be open for Council Meetings being held from May 20 through December 16, 2025.  Registrations will be accepted through May 9, 2025, at the following link: https://www.cdaid.org/invocation. Those interested must register through this site, with assignment of dates through a lottery.
