This will be the first time for an event like this in Minier on the
National Day of Prayer. The breakfast replaces the noon prayer
services around the flagpole at Veterans Memorial Park. The
speaker for the breakfast will be Gregg Walters, a native son of
Minier, who graduated from Olympia High School in 1986. He and his
wife, Candy, reside in Morton with their three daughters and attend
Grace Church. He currently serves as an assistant U.S. attorney for
the Department of Justice and previously spoke at the prayer
breakfast in Morton in 2006.
The menu includes breakfast casserole, sweet rolls, coffee and
juice.

The National Day of Prayer is an annual event, established by an
act of Congress, that encourages Americans to pray for our nation,
its people and its leaders. This year's theme is "Prayer! America's
Strength and Shield." The key text for this year's event is found in
Psalm 28:7: "The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts
in him and I am helped." (NIV)
