Community
Prayer Breakfasts
The
Mayor's Prayer Breakfast idea started in America
in 1952 to garner support from the diverse
populations for prayer for cities.
In
Columbus
, the Valley Interaction Ministry began Prayer
Breakfasts in the late 1980's that brought
together whites and blacks to support the idea.
Former
Mayor Frank Martin revived the "Mayor's
Prayer Breakfast" idea in 1991 that grew
into large interracial gatherings with local and
out of town speakers.
The
Mayor's Prayer Breakfast continued to be a
unifying force in the
Columbus
community under former Mayor Bobby Peters and
the Valley Interaction Ministry.
In
2002, the Valley Interaction Ministry became a
part of One Columbus and the event, under former
Mayor Bob Poydasheff, was renamed the Community
Prayer Breakfast.
This
year, the first of three breakfasts will be held
on April 15, 2008 at 7:00 pm on the
Plaza Level of the Government Center.
