For 13 consecutive years, the Duneland community has hosted a prayer breakfast patterned after the National Prayer Breakfast gatherings in Washington, DC. This year's event will be held on Wednesday, October 8th at Sand Creek Country Club, located at 1001 Sand Creek Drive South in Chesterton. The breakfast will start promptly at 7:30am, and will conclude at 9:00am.
This year's speaker will be Gary Varvel, syndicated cartoonist at the Indianapolis Star. "We are excited to have Gary as our speaker this year and look forward to the message and seeing some of his original works." said Michael Harris, Prayer Breakfast Chair. "Please pray with us that the event will have a positive impact on all of us who attend and on our community." Varvel is a national award winning editorial cartoonist whose work has appeared on CNN, FoxNews and in Newsweek, Time, The New York times, The Washington Post, just to name a few. His cartoons have also been reprinted in college and high school text books.
Tickets for the 2014 Community Prayer Breakfast are available at Anton Insurance, Duneland Chamber of Commerce, Duneland Family YMCA, The Chesterton Tribune and Duneland Resale in Chesterton, and at Anton Insurance in Valparaiso. The cost of the ticket is the same as last year, $20 each or $160 per table of 8. Checks can be made payable to CPB.
"As you may know, the ticket price does not cover the full cost of the event, but we are able to use generous gifts from interest donors to make up the difference, " said Harris. "Our thanks to the Duneland community for continued prayers and support for this annual community event."
