The Chamber Prayer Breakfast will be held on Tuesday, November 22nd at 7 AM at the 303 North Public Square Building, Smithville. The theme this year is “Building Community Character.” Lighthouse Christian Camp founder, Ben Chapman, will be the keynote speaker. With wife Ermeda, Ben founded the Lighthouse Christian Camp in 1982, where he serves as the president of the ministerial team that provides camps and special programs for disadvantaged children in DeKalb County and throughout Tennessee. Thousands of lives have been touched through Lighthouse’s summer camps, after- school- programs, special Christmas events, the “Sing for Joy” widows’ ministry and the newest program at Lighthouse – the Pastors’ Respite.
Special music will be performed by pianist Tomomi McDowell and Suzanne Slager and Chris Summers. Local Boy Scouts will present the flags. Prayers for our community, our leaders, and our children will make this a meaningful and memorable experience. A delicious breakfast will be catered by Jason Evans, head chef at The Inn at Evins Mill. Leadership Director Jen Sherwood and the Leadership DeKalb Class of 2012 will serve the beverages. Doors open at 6:30 AM.
Tickets are $12 per person and can be purchased at the Chamber office or from the Chamber Board of Directors.
Chamber Executive Director, Suzanne Williams says, “I would like to invite everyone to join with us at this special event in giving thanks to God for the abundant blessings He has given us in our county. The Prayer Breakfast is a wonderful way to begin the holiday season.” For tickets or additional information, call the Chamber at 597-4163.
