The longest running program from the Moton Museum will finish up its current season with two special events. The group announced this week that the Community Prayer Breakfast series will take place on April 2 and May 2, coinciding this year with the National Day of Prayer.
Sherre Atkins, Assistant Director of Visitation and Operations at the Moton Museum, emphasized the significance of the event in these transformative times.
“Our Moton Community Prayer Breakfast is our longest-standing public program,” Atkins said. “It’s an event where our community comes together to have breakfast, while different people from various sectors in our community are elected as Prayer Leaders, to render a prayer regarding a specific topic as it relates to our community. In these trying, challenging, and transitional times in our nation, prayer is needed more than ever. The power of community and the power of prayer combined can help yield lasting results for our society.”
The breakfasts, sponsored by Centra Southside Community Hospital, are free and open to the public. They begin at 7:30 a.m. inside the Moton Museum auditorium.
Each breakfast offers an opportunity for individuals from all walks of life to unite in prayer, reflecting on topics that resonate with the community’s needs and aspirations.
