In observance of the annual National Day of Prayer on Thursday May 1st, 2014, the Orrville Ministerial Association assisted by the Women Reaching Out Organization are planning a special “Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast” in honor of the Mayor and all public servants at the Orrville Y.M.C.A. from 7:00 - 8:00 AM on May 1st. The doors will be open for seating at 6:45 AM so that the event will begin on time. This year’s official theme is “One Voice, United in Prayer”. Reservations need to be made by April 23, 2014. The cost this year is the same as it was last year $11.00 per attendee. People are encouraged to register early because space is limited. This year’s Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast Planning Committee and helpers consist of O.M.A. members’ Brad Kelley, John Grandy, Sarah Ecker, Chuck Davis, and Jean Hurley of W.R.O. Also Lori Reinbolt, president of the Orrville Chamber of Commerce assisted the committee by getting the website registration sign up in place. Portions of this event will be filmed by Orrville’s “A- Channel” and shown at a later date. The Event will begin with a reading from Scripture and a formal welcome to all with a special acknowledgement of all who serve as public servants in Orrville and throughout our state. Mayor David Handwerk will be introduced by the current O.M.A. President, Brad Kelley. Upon his introduction, Mayor Handwerk will make an official proclamation concerning May 1st being recognized in Orrville as a “Day of Prayer” for our Nation and for our city of Orrville. After the Mayor’s Proclamation, a prayer of blessing for the meal will be given by Rev. Marvin Zuercher. This Year for the first time the full Breakfast Meal will be prepared and provided by Orrville’s very own Heartland Point Café. General Manager of Heartland Point, Valerie LaBuda will be heading up this important part of the event.
